[Ocf-linux-users] [PATCH] memory leak in ocf-linux-20100325 version of cryptosoft

[David M. <dav...@mc...>]

Hi all,

Here is a patch that fixes some serious issues with the newly async capable
cryptosoft driver.  The problems were two fold.

* The driver was not closing kernel crypto requests correctly,  resulting
  in a very rapid memory leak (~96 bytes per request).

* The driver was not chaining requests correctly.  So if you were using
  cryptosoft to do IPSec or cipher/hash combinations it would only do the
  first op.

Attached is a patch against ocf-linux-20100325 that should address both of
these problems.  If you have any issue with it please let me know.

Cheers,
Davidm
