This patch recognises the fact that the hardware cannot ever process more than 2,199,023,386,111 bytes of hash or HMAC payload, so there is no point in maintaining 128 bit wide byte counters, 64 bits is more than sufficient Signed-off-by: Pascal van Leeuwen <pvanleeuwen@verimatrix.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
