Subject: [PATCH 36/36] lib/crypto: aes: Drop 'volatile' from aes_sbox and aes_inv_sbox
Date: Sun, 4 Jan 2026 21:13:09 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260105051311.1607207-37-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260105051311.1607207-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
The volatile keyword is no longer necessary or useful on aes_sbox and
aes_inv_sbox, since the table prefetching is now done using a helper
function that casts to volatile itself and also includes an optimization
barrier. Since it prevents some compiler optimizations, remove it.
