      async_tx: add the async_tx api · 9bc89cd8
      Dan Williams 提交于
      The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
      bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
      dependencies.  It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
      the details of different hardware offload engine implementations.  Code
      that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
      api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. 
       
      	I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
      	'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
      	appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown
      
      async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
      provide an api of the following general format:
      
      struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
      async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
      			dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param)
      {
      	struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>);
      	struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL;
      	int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0;
      	struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ?
      		device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL;
      
      	if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */
      		...
      		tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index);
      		...
      		tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index);
      		...
      		async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
      	} else { /* run <operation> synchronously */
      		...
      		<operation>
      		...
      		async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
      	}
      
      	return tx;
      }
      
      async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool.  The
      channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers.  The
      async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays.  In the
      uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
      evenly over channels of similar capabilities.  For example if there are two
      copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
      handle xor.  In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
      operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
      channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1.  When a
      dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
      operation on the same channel.  A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
      channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
      transition between a copy and a xor resource.
      
      Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
      converted to the async_tx api.  A driver for the offload engines on the
      Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
      commit.  With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
      copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
       
      On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
      improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
      improvement).  For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
      percentage points.  On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
      implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
      of the original implementation.  According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
      utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
      according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
       
      The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
      --block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
      * iop342 had 1GB of memory available
      
      Details:
      * if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
        async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
      * when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
        fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
        tasklet.  if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
        polling wait will be performed
      * the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
        channels
      * In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
        interrupts.  The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
        pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
      * Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
        xor routine.  To the software routine the destination address is an implied
        source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination.  This patch
        modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
        to mirror the hardware.
      
      Changelog:
      * fixed a leftover debug print
      * don't allow callbacks in async_interrupt_cond
      * fixed xor_block changes

        the api

      xor: make 'xor_blocks' a library routine for use with async_tx · 685784aa
      Dan Williams 提交于
      The async_tx api tries to use a dma engine for an operation, but will fall
      back to an optimized software routine otherwise.  Xor support is
      implemented using the raid5 xor routines.  For organizational purposes this
      routine is moved to a common area.
      
      The following fixes are also made:
      * rename xor_block => xor_blocks, suggested by Adrian Bunk
      * ensure that xor.o initializes before md.o in the built-in case
      * checkpatch.pl fixes
      * mark calibrate_xor_blocks __init, Adrian Bunk

      [CRYPTO] digest: Added user API for new hash type · 055bcee3
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      The existing digest user interface is inadequate for support asynchronous
      operations.  For one it doesn't return a value to indicate success or
      failure, nor does it take a per-operation descriptor which is essential
      for the issuing of requests while other requests are still outstanding.
      
      This patch is the first in a series of steps to remodel the interface
      for asynchronous operations.
      
      For the ease of transition the new interface will be known as "hash"
      while the old one will remain as "digest".
      
      This patch also changes sg_next to allow chaining.

      [CRYPTO] cipher: Added block ciphers for CBC/ECB · db131ef9
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      This patch adds two block cipher algorithms, CBC and ECB.  These
      are implemented as templates on top of existing single-block cipher
      algorithms.  They invoke the single-block cipher through the new
      encrypt_one/decrypt_one interface.
      
      This also optimises the in-place encryption and decryption to remove
      the cost of an IV copy each round.

      [CRYPTO] cipher: Added block cipher type · 5cde0af2
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      This patch adds the new type of block ciphers.  Unlike current cipher
      algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
      operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data.  As it is block-based,
      it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.
      
      The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
      block cipher implementation.  The sg walking is now performed by the
      algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer.  This is needed for drivers
      that directly support sg lists.  It also improves performance for all
      algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.
      
      In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have
      a single-block interface.  This will be done after all existing users
      have switched over to the new block cipher type.

      [CRYPTO] api: Add cryptomgr · 2b8c19db
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      The cryptomgr module is a simple manager of crypto algorithm instances.
      It ensures that parameterised algorithms of the type tmpl(alg) (e.g.,
      cbc(aes)) are always created.
      
      This is meant to satisfy the needs for most users.  For more complex
      cases such as deeper combinations or multiple parameters, a netlink
      module will be created which allows arbitrary expressions to be parsed
      in user-space.

      [CRYPTO] api: Split out low-level API · cce9e06d
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      The crypto API is made up of the part facing users such as IPsec and the
      low-level part which is used by cryptographic entities such as algorithms.
      This patch splits out the latter so that the two APIs are more clearly
      delineated.  As a bonus the low-level API can now be modularised if all
      algorithms are built as modules.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
