Hi, ipsec in vannila linux kernel uses linux kernel crypto not OCF framework? I am using OCF driver for crypto acceleration to be used with openssl engine. Currently ipsec uses linux kernel crypto framework. So I've to write 2 drivers 1) kernel crypto driver 2) OCF driver I'd like to use single driver that can be used with OpenSSL/OCF and Linux kernel crypto. Is there any stable patch available for ipsec in latest linux kernel so that it uses OCF? Why OCF is not used in linux kernel for ipsec? I've read that current ipsec doesn't uses Bottom half so async API framework such as OCF is not required. Is it correct? What are the pros and cons of using OCF with ipsec? Regards Manish |
