Subject: [PATCH 1/3] crypto: Add per-cpu transform alloc() and free()
Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2011 12:59:08 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1323284350-13784-2-git-send-email-sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1323284350-13784-1-git-send-email-sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This patch add two functions for allocating a freeing
dynamically allocated per-cpu transform structures.
