2014-03-21crypto: crypto_wq - Fix late crypto work queue initializationTim Chen
The crypto algorithm modules utilizing the crypto daemon could be used early when the system start up. Using module_init does not guarantee that the daemon's work queue is initialized when the cypto alorithm depending on crypto_wq starts. It is necessary to initialize the crypto work queue earlier at the subsystem init time to make sure that it is initialized when used.

2011-10-31crypto: add module.h to those files that are explicitly using itPaul Gortmaker
Part of the include cleanups means that the implicit inclusion of module.h via device.h is going away. So fix things up in advance. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2011-01-04crypto: mark crypto workqueues CPU_INTENSIVETejun Heo
kcrypto_wq and pcrypt->wq's are used to run ciphers and may consume considerable amount of CPU cycles. Mark both as CPU_INTENSIVE so that they don't block other work items. As the workqueues are primarily used to burn CPU cycles, concurrency levels shouldn't matter much and are left at 1. A higher value may be beneficial and needs investigation.

2009-02-19crypto: api - Use dedicated workqueue for crypto subsystemHuang Ying
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.
