+Subject: e_devcrypto: default to not use digests in engine
+
+Digests are almost always slower when using /dev/crypto because of the
+cost of the context switches.  Only for large blocks it is worth it.
+
+Also, when forking, the open context structures are duplicated, but the
+internal kernel sessions are still shared between forks, which means an
+update/close operation in one fork affects all processes using that
+session.
+
+This affects digests, especially for HMAC, where the session with the
+key hash is used as a source for subsequent operations.  At least one
+popular application does this across a fork.  Disabling digests by
+default will mitigate the problem, while still allowing the user to
+turn them on if it is safe and fast enough.
