Subject[PATCH 4.14 105/159] crypto: crypto4xx - increase context and scatter ring buffer elements
Date
4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@gmail.com>


[ Upstream commit 778f81d6cdb7d25360f082ac0384d5103f04eca5 ]

If crypto4xx is used in conjunction with dm-crypt, the available
ring buffer elements are not enough to handle the load properly.

On an aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 encrypted swap partition the read
performance is abyssal: (tested with hdparm -t)

/dev/mapper/swap_crypt:
Timing buffered disk reads: 14 MB in 3.68 seconds = 3.81 MB/sec

The patch increases both PPC4XX_NUM_SD and PPC4XX_NUM_PD to 256.
This improves the performance considerably:

/dev/mapper/swap_crypt:
Timing buffered disk reads: 104 MB in 3.03 seconds = 34.31 MB/sec

Furthermore, PPC4XX_LAST_SD, PPC4XX_LAST_GD and PPC4XX_LAST_PD
can be easily calculated from their respective PPC4XX_NUM_*
constant.
