This patchset will check if the cipher can support bulk mode, then dm-crypt will handle different ways to send requests to crypto layer according to cipher mode. For bulk mode, we can use sg table to map the whole bio and send all scatterlists of one bio to crypto engine to encrypt or decrypt, which can improve the hardware engine's efficiency. Changes since v3: - Some optimization for blk_bio_map_sg() function. Changes since v2: - Add one cipher user with CRYPTO_ALG_BULK flag to support bulk mode. - Add one atomic variable to avoid the sg table race. Changes since v1: - Refactor the blk_bio_map_sg() function to avoid duplicated code. - Move the sg table allocation to crypt_ctr_cipher() function to avoid memory allocation in the IO path. - Remove the crypt_sg_entry() function. - Other optimization.
