2 * CRC32C
3 *@Article{castagnoli-crc,
4 * author = { Guy Castagnoli and Stefan Braeuer and Martin Herrman},
5 * title = {{Optimization of Cyclic Redundancy-Check Codes with 24
6 * and 32 Parity Bits}},
7 * journal = IEEE Transactions on Communication,
8 * year = {1993},
9 * volume = {41},
10 * number = {6},
11 * pages = {},
12 * month = {June},
14 * Used by the iSCSI driver, possibly others, and derived from the
15 * the iscsi-crc.c module of the linux-iscsi driver at
16 * http://linux-iscsi.sourceforge.net.
18 * Following the example of lib/crc32, this function is intended to be
19 * flexible and useful for all users. Modules that currently have their
20 * own crc32c, but hopefully may be able to use this one are:
21 * net/sctp (please add all your doco to here if you change to
22 * use this one!)
