I'm working on a batching mechanism for crypto_ahash interface,
where the requests are simply chained together and then submitted.

The same mechanism should work for crypto_acomp as well:

+       for (i = 0; i < num_mb; ++i) {
+               if (testmgr_alloc_buf(data[i].xbuf))
+                       goto out;
+
+               crypto_init_wait(&data[i].wait);
+
+               data[i].req = ahash_request_alloc(tfm, GFP_KERNEL);
+               if (!data[i].req) {
+                       pr_err("alg: hash: Failed to allocate request for %s\n",
+                              algo);
+                       goto out;
+               }
+
+               if (i)
+                       ahash_request_chain(data[i].req, data[0].req);
+               else
+                       ahash_reqchain_init(data[i].req, 0, crypto_req_done,
+                                           &data[i].wait);
+
+               sg_init_table(data[i].sg, XBUFSIZE);
+               for (j = 0; j < XBUFSIZE; j++) {
+                       sg_set_buf(data[i].sg + j, data[i].xbuf[j], PAGE_SIZE);
+                       memset(data[i].xbuf[j], 0xff, PAGE_SIZE);
+               }
+       }
