Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] crypto: add CMAC support to CryptoAPI

This does look promising - AES_CMAC in the crypto libs would be very
helpful for SMB3 for cifs.ko (for the common cases when packet signing
is required, or network file system encryption is turned on for a
share).  Presumably with Windows 8 and Windows 2012 and some very
current NAS these are required.  Apparently AES_CMAC also is much
faster than the algorithms used in previous network file system
dialect levels as well, so will help performance, not just be more
secure.

This general crypto patch is much larger than the cifs.ko specific
patch I had been working on but perhaps it is because of optional
features.
