Because the kernel won't compile after your first patch. Either do it as one single patch or use the more elaborate "new interafce" + "switchover" + "delete old interface" ritual. > So, if my hwcrypto can handle hash and ciphers, I need to have two engine and each crypt_one_request()/hash_one_request() > need to lock the engine. > Having only one engine that handle all types permit to avoid this locking. OK then we should add some type-checking as you suggested. What I don't want is just blind casting by the user of crypto_engine.
