This way it can only handle one job at a given time. To be able to fuly utilize the potential of existing crypto hardware accelerators it is required to submit multiple jobs in asynchronously. This series adds support for asynchronous operations for algif_skcipher. First patch enables af_alg sgl to be linked. Second patch implement asynch read for skcipher.
