Hi everybody,
I'm going to port JFFS2's compression modules to CryptoApi except
{in|de}flate, which Artem is working(?) on.
I've noticed that the pcompress thing (slen <-> *slen and partial
compression which about a discussion was on the list) is in Herbert's
repository. Does it mean that it will get into the kernel once? I just
would like to be sure whether should I implement pcompress or not.
The second thing is that we would like to use CryptoApi from user
space. This way it won't be necessary to reimplement compression
algorithms in user space filesystem image creation programs
(mkfs.jffsx), and it would make using & distributing closed-source
proprietary compression methods easier.
There's a patch at http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/cryptodev/, written
by Michal Ludvig, which adds a /dev/crypto device for this purpose, as
on *BSD. Is there a chance that this can get into the kernel?
Regards,
Patrik Kluba
