From dbaf0624ffa57ae6e7d87a823185ccd9a7852d3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gonglei Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2016 10:03:16 +0800 Subject: crypto: add virtio-crypto driver This patch introduces virtio-crypto driver for Linux Kernel. The virtio crypto device is a virtual cryptography device as well as a kind of virtual hardware accelerator for virtual machines. The encryption anddecryption requests are placed in the data queue and are ultimately handled by thebackend crypto accelerators. The second queue is the control queue used to create or destroy sessions for symmetric algorithms and will control some advanced features in the future. The virtio crypto device provides the following cryptoservices: CIPHER, MAC, HASH, and AEAD.
