2009-02-19crypto: cryptd - Per-CPU thread implementation based on kcrypto_wqHuang Ying
Original cryptd thread implementation has scalability issue, this patch solve the issue with a per-CPU thread implementation. struct cryptd_queue is defined to be a per-CPU queue, which holds one struct cryptd_cpu_queue for each CPU. In struct cryptd_cpu_queue, a struct crypto_queue holds all requests for the CPU, a struct work_struct is used to run all requests for the CPU. Testing based on dm-crypt on an Intel Core 2 E6400 (two cores) machine shows 19.2% performance gain. The testing script is as follow: -------------------- script begin --------------------------- #!/bin/sh dmc_create() { # Create a crypt device using dmsetup dmsetup create $2 --table "0 `blockdev --getsize $1` crypt cbc(aes-asm)?cryptd?plain:plain babebabebabebabebabebabebabebabe 0 $1 0" } dmsetup remove crypt0 dmsetup remove crypt1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 bs=1M count=4 >& /dev/null dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram1 bs=1M count=4 >& /dev/null dmc_create /dev/ram0 crypt0 dmc_create /dev/ram1 crypt1 cat >tr.sh <<EOF #!/bin/sh for n in \$(seq 10); do dd if=/dev/dm-0 of=/dev/null >& /dev/null & dd if=/dev/dm-1 of=/dev/null >& /dev/null & done wait EOF for n in $(seq 10); do /usr/bin/time sh tr.sh done rm tr.sh -------------------- script end --------------------------- The separator of dm-crypt parameter is changed from "-" to "?", because "-" is used in some cipher driver name too, and cryptds need to specify cipher driver name instead of cipher name. The test result on an Intel Core2 E6400 (two cores) is as follow: without patch: -----------------wo begin -------------------------- 0.04user 0.38system 0:00.39elapsed 107%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6566minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.07user 0.35system 0:00.35elapsed 121%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6567minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.06user 0.34system 0:00.30elapsed 135%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6562minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.05user 0.37system 0:00.36elapsed 119%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6607minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.06user 0.36system 0:00.35elapsed 120%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6562minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.05user 0.37system 0:00.31elapsed 136%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6594minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.04user 0.34system 0:00.30elapsed 126%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6597minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.06user 0.32system 0:00.31elapsed 125%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6571minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.06user 0.34system 0:00.31elapsed 134%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6581minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.05user 0.38system 0:00.31elapsed 138%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6600minor)pagefaults 0swaps -----------------wo end -------------------------- with patch: ------------------w begin -------------------------- 0.02user 0.31system 0:00.24elapsed 141%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6554minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.05user 0.34system 0:00.31elapsed 127%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6606minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.07user 0.33system 0:00.26elapsed 155%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6559minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.07user 0.32system 0:00.26elapsed 151%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6562minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.05user 0.34system 0:00.26elapsed 150%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6603minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.03user 0.36system 0:00.31elapsed 124%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6562minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.04user 0.35system 0:00.26elapsed 147%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6586minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.03user 0.37system 0:00.27elapsed 146%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6562minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.04user 0.36system 0:00.26elapsed 154%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6594minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.04user 0.35system 0:00.26elapsed 154%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+6557minor)pagefaults 0swaps ------------------w end -------------------------- The middle value of elapsed time is: wo cryptwq: 0.31 w cryptwq: 0.26 The performance gain is about (0.31-0.26)/0.26 = 0.192.

2009-02-18crypto: cryptd - Add support to access underlying blkcipherHuang Ying
cryptd_alloc_ablkcipher() will allocate a cryptd-ed ablkcipher for specified algorithm name. The new allocated one is guaranteed to be cryptd-ed ablkcipher, so the blkcipher underlying can be gotten via cryptd_ablkcipher_child().

2008-07-10crypto: hash - Move ahash functions into crypto/hash.hHerbert Xu
All new crypto interfaces should go into individual files as much as possible in order to ensure that crypto.h does not collapse under its own weight. This patch moves the ahash code into crypto/hash.h and crypto/internal/hash.h respectively. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2008-07-10[CRYPTO] cryptd: Fix EINPROGRESS notification contextHerbert Xu
The EINPROGRESS notifications should be done just like the final call-backs, i.e., with BH off. This patch fixes the call in cryptd since previously it was called with BH on. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2008-01-11[CRYPTO] cryptd: Use geniv of the underlying algorithmHerbert Xu
If the underlying algorithm specifies a specific geniv algorithm then we should use it for the cryptd version as well. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] ablkcipher: Add distinct ABLKCIPHER typeHerbert Xu
Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set. This is suboptimal because ablkcipher refers to two things. On the one hand it refers to the top-level ablkcipher interface with requests. On the other hand it refers to and algorithm type underneath. As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm with the ablkcipher interface on top. This is a problem because we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level interface. This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST. The type it associated with the algorithm implementation only. Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is then determined by the mask that's used. If it's a specific mask then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the new ablkcipher interface. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-10-10[CRYPTO] ablkcipher: Remove queue pointer from common alg objectHerbert Xu
Since not everyone needs a queue pointer and those who need it can always get it from the context anyway the queue pointer in the common alg object is redundant. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
