Hi,
About two months ago, there was a message here about whether dm-crypt
uses more than one core to do encryption. I did some experimenting
with kernel 2.6.26.3, and it seems that dm-crypt uses one core per
device.
How difficult would it be to adjust dm-crypt so that it splits crypto
operations for one device evenly across the available CPUs? I noticed
that dm-crypt was recently converted to use the async support in the
Linux crypto library. I guess this is the first step to getting true
multicore support working?
Is there anything I can do to help with this?
