[PATCH v3 0/5] virtio-crypto: Improve performance

From: zhenwei pi
Date: Thu Apr 21 2022 - 06:44:14 EST


v2 -> v3:
- Jason suggested that spliting the first patch into two part:
1, using private buffer
2, remove the busy polling
Rework as Jason's suggestion, this makes the smaller change in
each one and clear.

v1 -> v2:
- Use kfree instead of kfree_sensitive for insensitive buffer.
- Several coding style fix.
- Use memory from current node, instead of memory close to device
- Add more message in commit, also explain why removing per-device
request buffer.
- Add necessary comment in code to explain why using kzalloc to
allocate struct virtio_crypto_ctrl_request.

v1:
The main point of this series is to improve the performance for
virtio crypto:
- Use wait mechanism instead of busy polling for ctrl queue, this
reduces CPU and lock racing, it's possiable to create/destroy session
parallelly, QPS increases from ~40K/s to ~200K/s.
- Enable retry on crypto engine to improve performance for data queue,
this allows the larger depth instead of 1.
- Fix dst data length in akcipher service.
- Other style fix.

lei he (2):
virtio-crypto: adjust dst_len at ops callback
virtio-crypto: enable retry for virtio-crypto-dev

zhenwei pi (3):
virtio-crypto: use private buffer for control request
virtio-crypto: wait ctrl queue instead of busy polling
virtio-crypto: move helpers into virtio_crypto_common.c
