Currently for hibernation, LZO is the only compression algorithm available and uses the existing LZO library calls. However, there is no flexibility to switch to other algorithms which provides better results. The main idea is that different compression algorithms have different characteristics and hibernation may benefit when it uses alternate algorithms. By moving to crypto based APIs, it lays a foundation to use other compression algorithms for hibernation. There are no functional changes introduced by this approach.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
