What if we allowed each acomp request to take a whole folio?
That would mean you'd only need to allocate one request per
folio, regardless of how big it is.

Eric, we could do something similar with ahash.  Allow the
user to supply a folio (or scatterlist entry) instead of a
single page, and then cut it up based on a unit-size supplied
by the user (e.g., 512 bytes for sector-based users).  That
would mean just a single request object as long as your input
is a folio or something similar.

Is this something that you could use in fs/verity? You'd still
need to allocate enough memory to store the output hashes.

Cheers,
