From 68b6c7d6919be7c732fc6229c55e35d0166e9258 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2007 20:18:17 +0800 Subject: [CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_attr_alg_name This patch adds a new helper crypto_attr_alg_name which is basically the first half of crypto_attr_alg. That is, it returns an algorithm name parameter as a string without looking it up. The caller can then look it up immediately or defer it until later.
