The crypto completion function currently takes a pointer to a struct crypto_async_request object. However, in reality the API does not allow the use of any part of the object apart from the data field. For example, ahash/shash will create a fake object on the stack to pass along a different data field. This leads to potential bugs where the user may try to dereference or otherwise use the crypto_async_request object. This patch adds some temporary scaffolding so that the completion function can take a void * instead. Once affected users have been converted this can be removed. The helper crypto_request_complete will remain even after the conversion is complete. It should be used instead of calling the completion function directly.

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.
