[PATCH] lib/crypto: Include <crypto/utils.h> instead of <crypto/algapi.h>
Posted by Eric Biggers 1 day, 21 hours ago
Since the lib/crypto/ files that include <crypto/algapi.h> need it only
for the transitive inclusion of <crypto/utils.h> (and not all the
traditional crypto API stuff that the rest of <crypto/algapi.h> is
filled with), replace these inclusions with direct inclusions of
<crypto/utils.h>.
