Re: Patching 2.4.6--help fixing 1 hunk that failed

[Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvr@hvrlab.org>]

well, I've cleaned up the 2.4.3.1, it should apply cleanly to a vanilla
2.4.6 linux kernel, I've put up the patch as patch-int-2.4.6.{bz2,gz} to

http://www.hvrlab.org/pub/crypto/

I've also taken the time to make a maintenaince release of the cryptoapi
re-packagement of the international crypto patch (and includes some
small cleanups still to be merged into the patch-version)

known problems with the international crypto patch on 2.4.x:

*) non-reentrant --> don't use it on SMP (unless you can enforce
non-parallel execution of the transfer functions)
if you want to do some work on it, please go ahead; I can tell you where
you should begin to look at...

*) transfer block size dependend IV size (there is a fix for this one in
the cryptoapi re-package, see the included README file for more about it)

I hope alexander is still around... :-/
