This patch introduces the skcipher_ialg_simple helper which fetches the crypto_alg structure from a simple skcipher instance's spawn. This allows us to remove the third argument from the function skcipher_alloc_instance_simple. In doing so the reference count to the algorithm is now maintained by the Crypto API and the caller no longer needs to drop the alg refcount. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
