[PATCH v3 00/13] crypto: Documentation of kernel crypto API

From: Stephan Mueller
Date: Tue Nov 11 2014 - 23:33:49 EST


Hi,

The following patch set adds documentation files under Documentation/crypto/
covering the high-level description of the API. In addition, it contains
source code comments added to the header files of the kernel crypto API
documenting the API functions.

The documentation is provided in a DocBook whose output can be reviewed at:

http://www.chronox.de/crypto-API/index.html

Changes v2:
* Split out the user space documentation into separate document including
the user space example code
* Change the license of the user space interface code to match the license
of the code that I used as a reference.
* Addition of a precise pointer to the user space interface code reference
code.
* Add a missing memset(0) to the user space example code.
* Move the API function call documentation into the header files in the hope
for a better maintainability.
* Merge the developer-related documentation from Marek Vasut

Changes v3:
* Replaced user space example code with reference to libkcapi as a reference
implementation and a simple library hiding the Netlink details.
* Converted all kernel documentation into a basis for a DocBook as suggested
by Jonathan Corbet
* Included (hopefully) all suggestions provided over the last two weeks
