So what I think I'm hearing is... 1. Apply Bob's slice-by-8 algorithm patch to regular crc32. 2. Adapt crc32's build code to generate crc32c as well. 3. Remove crypto/crc32c.c's implementation and have it wrap the code generated by #2. 4. Retain the current libcrc32c. I guess if you don't configure CRYPTO and CRYPTO_CRC32C then it could also just reference the generated crc32c functions directly. Is this a satisfactory way to move forward?
All good except that you don't really have to touch libcrc32c at all. Cheers, -- Email: Herbert Xu [off-list ref] Home Page: http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/ PGP Key: http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/pubkey.txt
