Tidy up the formatting/grammar in crypto_engine.rst. Use bulleted lists
where appropriate.

CRYPTO ENGINE Crypto Engine
============= =============
Overview Overview
-------- --------
The crypto engine API (CE), is a crypto queue manager. The crypto engine (CE) API is a crypto queue manager.
Requirement Requirement
----------- -----------
You have to put at start of your tfm_ctx the struct crypto_engine_ctx:: You must put, at the start of your transform context your_tfm_ctx, the structure
crypto_engine:
struct your_tfm_ctx { ::
struct crypto_engine_ctx enginectx;
...
};
Why: Since CE manage only crypto_async_request, it cannot know the underlying struct your_tfm_ctx {
request_type and so have access only on the TFM. struct crypto_engine engine;
So using container_of for accessing __ctx is impossible. ...
Furthermore, the crypto engine cannot know the "struct your_tfm_ctx", };
so it must assume that crypto_engine_ctx is at start of it.
The crypto engine only manages asynchronous requests in the form of
crypto_async_request. It cannot know the underlying request type and thus only
has access to the transform structure. It is not possible to access the context
using container_of. In addition, the engine knows nothing about your
structure "``struct your_tfm_ctx``". The engine assumes (requires) the placement
of the known member ``struct crypto_engine`` at the beginning.
Order of operations Order of operations
------------------- -------------------
You have to obtain a struct crypto_engine via crypto_engine_alloc_init(). You are required to obtain a struct crypto_engine via ``crypto_engine_alloc_init()``.
And start it via crypto_engine_start(). Start it via ``crypto_engine_start()``. When finished with your work, shut down the
engine using ``crypto_engine_stop()`` and destroy the engine with
``crypto_engine_exit()``.
Before transferring any request, you have to fill the enginectx. Before transferring any request, you have to fill the context enginectx by
- prepare_request: (taking a function pointer) If you need to do some processing before doing the request providing functions for the following:
- unprepare_request: (taking a function pointer) Undoing what's done in prepare_request
- do_one_request: (taking a function pointer) Do encryption for current request
Note: that those three functions get the crypto_async_request associated with the received request. * ``prepare_crypt_hardware``: Called once before any prepare functions are
So your need to get the original request via container_of(areq, struct yourrequesttype_request, base); called.
When your driver receive a crypto_request, you have to transfer it to * ``unprepare_crypt_hardware``: Called once after all unprepare functions have
the cryptoengine via one of: been called.
- crypto_transfer_ablkcipher_request_to_engine()
- crypto_transfer_aead_request_to_engine()
- crypto_transfer_akcipher_request_to_engine()
- crypto_transfer_hash_request_to_engine()
- crypto_transfer_skcipher_request_to_engine()
At the end of the request process, a call to one of the following function is needed: * ``prepare_cipher_request``/``prepare_hash_request``: Called before each
- crypto_finalize_ablkcipher_request corresponding request is performed. If some processing or other preparatory
- crypto_finalize_aead_request work is required, do it here.
- crypto_finalize_akcipher_request
- crypto_finalize_hash_request * ``unprepare_cipher_request``/``unprepare_hash_request``: Called after each
- crypto_finalize_skcipher_request request is handled. Clean up / undo what was done in the prepare function.
* ``cipher_one_request``/``hash_one_request``: Handle the current request by
performing the operation.
Note that these functions access the crypto_async_request structure
associated with the received request. You are able to retrieve the original
request by using:
::
container_of(areq, struct yourrequesttype_request, base);
When your driver receives a crypto_request, you must to transfer it to
the crypto engine via one of:
* crypto_transfer_ablkcipher_request_to_engine()
* crypto_transfer_aead_request_to_engine()
* crypto_transfer_akcipher_request_to_engine()
* crypto_transfer_hash_request_to_engine()
* crypto_transfer_skcipher_request_to_engine()
At the end of the request process, a call to one of the following functions is needed:
* crypto_finalize_ablkcipher_request()
* crypto_finalize_aead_request()
* crypto_finalize_akcipher_request()
* crypto_finalize_hash_request()
* crypto_finalize_skcipher_request()
