Subject: [PATCH v4 06/14] crypto: arm/chacha20 - limit the preemption-disabled section

From: [email-masked] (Eric Biggers)
Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2018 17:26:23 -0800

From: Eric Biggers <[email-masked]>

To improve responsivesess, disable preemption for each step of the walk
(which is at most PAGE_SIZE) rather than for the entire
encryption/decryption operation.
