Okay, I definitely would like to see dm-verity better support hardware crypto
accelerators, but these patches were painful to read.
There are lots of smaller bugs, but the high-level problem which you need to
address first is that on every bio you are always allocating all the extra
memory to hold a hash request and scatterlist for every data block. This will
not only hurt performance when the hashing is done in software (I'm skeptical
that your performance numbers are representative of that case), but it will also
fall apart under memory pressure. We are trying to get low-end Android devices
to start using dm-verity, and such devices often have only 1 GB or even only 512
MB of RAM, so memory allocations are at increased risk of failing. In fact I'm
pretty sure you didn't do any proper stress testing of these patches, since the
first thing they do for every bio is try to allocate a physically contiguous
array that is nearly as long as the full bio data itself (n_blocks *
sizeof(struct dm_verity_req_data) = n_blocks * 3264, at least on a 64-bit
platform, mostly due to the 'struct dm_verity_fec_io'), so potentially up to
about 1 MB; that's going to fail a lot even on systems with gigabytes of RAM...
(You also need to verify that your new code is compatible with the forward error
correction feature, with the "ignore_zero_blocks" option, and with the new
"check_at_most_once" option. From my reading of the code, all of those seemed
broken; the dm_verity_fec_io structures, for example, weren't even being
initialized...)
I think you need to take a close look at how dm-crypt handles async crypto
implementations, since it seems to do it properly without hurting the common
case where the crypto happens synchronously. What it does, is it reserves space
in the per-bio data for a single cipher request. Then, *only* if the cipher
implementation actually processes the request asynchronously (as indicated by
-EINPROGRESS being returned) is a new cipher request allocated dynamically,
using a mempool (not kmalloc, which is prone to fail). Note that unlike your
patches it also properly handles the case where the hardware crypto queue is
full, as indicated by the cipher implementation returning -EBUSY; in that case,
dm-crypt waits to start another request until there is space in the queue.
I think it would be possible to adapt dm-crypt's solution to dm-verity.
Thanks,
Eric
