[PATCH 2/2] lib/crc: loongarch: Add 3-way parallel CRC32(C) for large buffers
From: Huacai Chen
Date: Sun Oct 11 2026 - 11:59:50 EST
The crc* loop is a single serial dependency chain: every instruction
consumes the previous one's result. CRC is linear over GF(2), so a
buffer can be split into 3 contiguous lanes processed by independent
chains and combined afterwards:
crc(A|B|C) = shift(crc(A), |B|+|C|) ^ shift(crc(B), |C|) ^ crc(C)
with lanes B and C seeded with 0. The shift (multiplication by x^(8n)
mod P) is linear, so its multiplier is tabulated at module init as 4x256
tables built from crc32_le_base()/crc32c_base(); each combine then costs
4 lookups instead of a log-time GF(2) square loop.
Lanes use a fixed 2 KiB stride (6 KiB superblock); smaller buffers fall
through to the serial path. The 3-way parallel loop CRC32 is measured on
a Loongson-3C6000 machine (single core, cache-hot, with UAL):
8 KiB: 8.4 -> 12.0 GB/s
64 KiB: 8.4 -> 12.4 GB/s (+45% over the serial hw loop,
~12x over the generic table)
Correctness was verified bit-exact against crc32c() over all lengths
0..6168 with 3 seeds, plus 3000 random offset/length/seed combinations.
