Martin K. Petersen b76377543b crc-t10dif: Pick better transform if one becomes available
T10 CRC library is linked into the kernel thanks to block and SCSI. The
crypto accelerators are typically loaded later as modules and are
therefore not available when the T10 CRC library is initialized.

Use the crypto notifier facility to trigger a switch to a better algorithm
if one becomes available after the initial hash has been registered. Use
RCU to protect the original transform while the new one is being set up.

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
