+Code Example For Symmetric Key Cipher Operation
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+This code encrypts some data with AES-256-XTS. For sake of example,
+all inputs are random bytes, the encryption is done in-place, and it's
+assumed the code is running in a context where it can sleep.
+
+::
+
+ static int test_skcipher(void)
+ {
+ struct crypto_skcipher *tfm = NULL;
+ struct skcipher_request *req = NULL;
+ u8 *data = NULL;
+ const size_t datasize = 512; /* data size in bytes */
+ struct scatterlist sg;
+ DECLARE_CRYPTO_WAIT(wait);
+ u8 iv[16]; /* AES-256-XTS takes a 16-byte IV */
+ u8 key[64]; /* AES-256-XTS takes a 64-byte key */
+ int err;
+
+ /*
+ * Allocate a tfm (a transformation object) and set the key.
+ *
+ * In real-world use, a tfm and key are typically used for many
+ * encryption/decryption operations. But in this example, we'll just do a
+ * single encryption operation with it (which is not very efficient).
+ */

+ * Encrypt the data in-place.
+ *
+ * For simplicity, in this example we wait for the request to complete
+ * before proceeding, even if the underlying implementation is asynchronous.
+ *
+ * To decrypt instead of encrypt, just change crypto_skcipher_encrypt() to
+ * crypto_skcipher_decrypt().
