Subject: [PATCH v2 7/8] lib: Give compression, checksum, crypto config opts names
Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2025 17:24:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251012212414.3225948-8-kent.overstreet@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251012212414.3225948-1-kent.overstreet@linux.dev>
Give these config options names so that they show up under the "Library
routines" kernel configuration menu, and can be enabled by
distributions.
These are needed for bcachefs to be built out of tree.
Most (but not all, notably CRC64) of these libraries have crypto API
wrappers which are already selectable under the "Cryptographic API"
configuration menu; however, Eric Biggers has been working to reduce
usage of the cryptographic API in favor of much more lightweight direct
APIs.
