ocf-linux-20050520 - Asynchronous Crypto support for linux

[David McCullough]

Hi all,

A new release of the ocf-linux package is up:

	http://ocf-linux.sourceforge.net/

A lot of changes in this release.  Best to check the Changelog below
for the specifics.  Most of the changes have centered around RNG, PKE
or getting Openswan running with OCF.

No 2.6 testing was done for this release,  but it should be close
if it doesn't work.

The OpenSwan 2.3.0 patch of accelerates receive packets only
at this point.  This is just to get the basics out there for comment
while the transmit side is coded.

Changes:
* Mostly complete SKB processing for all drivers
* Numerous fixes to all drivers (esp. cryptosoft)
* All drivers can now do ESP/AH processing on buffers, skb's
  or iovecs.
* Re-work of the ixp4xx driver (multiple  outstanding requests)
* PKE support working in safenet
* New demand driven RNG support with optional FIPS140 testing of data
* Openswan RX-only support for comment
* Fixed race condition in ocf driver startup

Cheers,
Davidm

Changes:
* Full openswan v2.3.0 acceleration (including userland crypto/PKE support)
* Performance improvements
* Lots of fixes for IXP driver
   - builds for 1.4 and 2.0 access libs
   - task queues to handle possible blocking calls
   - problems calling perform from registration callback
   - many more ...
* MD5/SHA hash fixes for safenet on big endian machines
* New kernel speed test module to compare kernel crypto speeds

Mostly fixes in this release.  I had been sitting on sme tof this for
too long.  Best to check the Changelog below for some of the specifics.

At least some 2.6 testing was done for this release :-)

Changes:

* Much improved 2.6 support in OCF
* Openswan patch has full ESP/AH acceleration
* Updated crypto-tools with many fixes/additions
* Much more reliable (will not exhaust system resources under heavy load)
