Of course, the real problem is that even after multiple revisions of this patchset, there's still no actual conversions of the existing crypto API algorithms over to use the new implementations. "Zinc" is still completely separate from the existing crypto API.No this is not, "the real problem [...] after multiple revisions" because I've offered to do this and stated pretty clearly my intent to do so. But, as I've mentioned before, I'd really prefer to land this series through net-next
Hi Jason
Just as an FYI:
1) I don't think anybody in netdev has taken a serious look at the
network code yet. There is little point until the controversial part
of the code, Zinc, has been sorted out.
2) I personally would be surprised if DaveM took this code without
having an Acked-by from the crypto subsystem people. In the same way,
i doubt the crypto people would take an Ethernet driver without having
DaveM's Acked-by.
