In dm-integrity target we register integrity profile that have
both generate_fn and verify_fn callbacks set to NULL.
This is used if dm-integrity is stacked under a dm-crypt device
for authenticated encryption (integrity payload contains authentication
tag and IV seed).
In this case the verification is done through own crypto API
processing inside dm-crypt; integrity profile is only holder
of these data. (And memory is owned by dm-crypt as well.)

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
