- Reorganize the architecture-optimized CRC32 and CRC-T10DIF code to be
directly accessible via the library API, instead of requiring the
crypto API. This is much simpler and more efficient.
- Convert some users such as ext4 to use the CRC32 library API instead
of the crypto API. More conversions like this will come later.
- Add a KUnit test that tests and benchmarks multiple CRC variants.
Remove older, less-comprehensive tests that are made redundant by
this.
- Add an entry to MAINTAINERS for the kernel's CRC library code. I'm
volunteering to maintain it. I have additional cleanups and
optimizations planned for future cycles.
These patches have been in linux-next since -rc1.
