General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_CRYPTO_MCRYPTD:

• prompt: Software async multi-buffer crypto daemon
• type: tristate
• depends on: (none)
• defined in crypto/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 3.18–3.19, 4.0–4.19
• modules built: mcryptd

Help text

This is a generic software asynchronous crypto daemon that provides the kernel thread to assist multi-buffer crypto algorithms for submitting jobs and flushing jobs in multi-buffer crypto algorithms. Multi-buffer crypto algorithms are executed in the context of this kernel thread and drivers can post their crypto request asynchronously to be processed by this daemon.
