/**
* DOC: Synchronous Block Cipher API
*
* The synchronous block cipher API is used with the ciphers of type
* CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_BLKCIPHER (listed as type "blkcipher" in /proc/crypto)
*
* Synchronous calls, have a context in the tfm. But since a single tfm can be
* used in multiple calls and in parallel, this info should not be changeable
* (unless a lock is used). This applies, for example, to the symmetric key.
* However, the IV is changeable, so there is an iv field in blkcipher_tfm
* structure for synchronous blkcipher api. So, its the only state info that can
* be kept for synchronous calls without using a big lock across a tfm.
*
* The block cipher API allows the use of a complete cipher, i.e. a cipher
* consisting of a template (a block chaining mode) and a single block cipher
* primitive (e.g. AES).
*
* The plaintext data buffer and the ciphertext data buffer are pointed to
* by using scatter/gather lists. The cipher operation is performed
* on all segments of the provided scatter/gather lists.
*
* The kernel crypto API supports a cipher operation "in-place" which means that
* the caller may provide the same scatter/gather list for the plaintext and
* cipher text. After the completion of the cipher operation, the plaintext
* data is replaced with the ciphertext data in case of an encryption and vice
* versa for a decryption. The caller must ensure that the scatter/gather lists
* for the output data point to sufficiently large buffers, i.e. multiples of
* the block size of the cipher.
