This patch is a transitional patch. It splits the atmel_sha_handle_queue() function. Now atmel_sha_handle_queue() only manages the request queue and calls a new .start() hook from the atmel_sha_ctx structure. This hook allows to implement different kind of requests still handled by a single queue. Also when the req parameter of atmel_sha_handle_queue() refers to the very same request as the one returned by crypto_dequeue_request(), the queue management now gives a chance to this crypto request to be handled synchronously, hence reducing latencies. The .start() hook returns 0 if the crypto request was handled synchronously and -EINPROGRESS if the crypto request still need to be handled asynchronously. Besides, the new .is_async member of the atmel_sha_dev structure helps tagging this asynchronous state. Indeed, the req->base.complete() callback should not be called if the crypto request is handled synchronously.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
