Eric Biggers [off-list ref] wrote:

While testing this patchset I notice that none of the crypto API drivers for
crc32 or crc32c even need to be loaded on my system anymore, as everything on my
system that uses those algorithms (such as ext4) just uses the library APIs now.
That makes the "check /proc/crypto" trick stop working anyway.

What's stopping us from removing them altogether?

Thanks,
