kcapi_cipher_decrypt_aio - decrypt data (asynchronous one shot)
Contents
Arguments
handle
[in] cipher handle
iniov
[in] head of scatter-gather list array holding the ciphertext
outiov
[out] head of scatter-gather list with the destination buffers for the plaintext
iovlen
[in] number of scatter-gather list entries
iv
[in] IV to be used for cipher operation
access
[in] kernel access type (KCAPI_ACCESS_HEURISTIC - use internal heuristic for fastest kernel access;
KCAPI_ACCESS_VMSPLICE - use vmsplice access; KCAPI_ACCESS_SENDMSG - sendmsg access)

Description
The individual scatter-gather list entries are processed with separate invocations of the the given
cipher.
The memory should be aligned at the page boundary using posix_memalign(sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE)), If it is
not aligned at the page boundary, the vmsplice call may not send all data to the kernel.
The IV buffer must be exactly kcapi_cipher_ivsize bytes in size.
return number of bytes decrypted upon success; a negative errno-style error code if an error occurred
