Vakul Garg says: ==================== net/tls: Combined memory allocation for decryption request This patch does a combined memory allocation from heap for scatterlists, aead_request, aad and iv for the tls record decryption path. In present code, aead_request is allocated from heap, scatterlists on a conditional basis are allocated on heap or on stack. This is inefficient as it may requires multiple kmalloc/kfree. The initialization vector passed in cryption request is allocated on stack. This is a problem since the stack memory is not dma-able from crypto accelerators. Doing one combined memory allocation for each decryption request fixes both the above issues. It also paves a way to be able to submit multiple async decryption requests while the previous one is pending i.e. being processed or queued. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
