[PATCH RT] crypto: Reduce preempt disabled regions, more algos

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Fri Feb 21 2014 - 11:36:53 EST

Don Estabrook reported
| kernel: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 858 at kernel/sched/core.c:2428 migrate_disable+0xed/0x100()
| kernel: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 858 at kernel/sched/core.c:2462 migrate_enable+0x17b/0x200()
| kernel: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 865 at kernel/sched/core.c:2428 migrate_disable+0xed/0x100()

and his backtrace showed some crypto functions which looked fine.

The problem is the following sequence:

glue_xts_crypt_128bit()
{
blkcipher_walk_virt(); /* normal migrate_disable() */

glue_fpu_begin(); /* get atomic */

while (nbytes) {
__glue_xts_crypt_128bit();
blkcipher_walk_done(); /* with nbytes = 0, migrate_enable()
* while we are atomic */
};
glue_fpu_end() /* no longer atomic */
}

and this is why the counter get out of sync and the warning is printed.
The other problem is that we are non-preemptible between
glue_fpu_begin() and glue_fpu_end() and the latency grows. To fix this,
I shorten the FPU off region and ensure blkcipher_walk_done() is called
with preemption enabled. This might hurt the performance because we now
enable/disable the FPU state more often but we gain lower latency and
the bug is gone.
