From 25c38d3fb92fc23af7730a1601bc20af8216ae44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huang Ying Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 14:33:40 +0800 Subject: crypto: api - Use dedicated workqueue for crypto subsystem Use dedicated workqueue for crypto subsystem A dedicated workqueue named kcrypto_wq is created to be used by crypto subsystem. The system shared keventd_wq is not suitable for encryption/decryption, because of potential starvation problem.
