The following 4 patches enabling fsl-dma and talitos offload raid operations for improving raid performance and balancing CPU load. Write performance will be improved by 25-30% tested by iozone. Write performance is improved about 2% after using spin_lock_bh replace spin_lock_irqsave. CPU load will be reduced by 8%. Changes in v3: - change release process of fsl-dma descriptor for resolve the potential race condition - add test result when use spin_lock_bh replace spin_lock_irqsave - modify the benchmark results according to the latest patch Changes in v2: - rebase onto cryptodev tree - split the patch 3/4 up to 3 independent patches - remove the patch 4/4, the fix is not for cryptodev tree Qiang Liu (4): Talitos: Support for async_tx XOR offload fsl-dma: remove attribute DMA_INTERRUPT of dmaengine fsl-dma: change release process of dma descriptor for supporting async_tx fsl-dma: use spin_lock_bh to instead of spin_lock_irqsave drivers/crypto/Kconfig | 9 + drivers/crypto/talitos.c | 410 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/crypto/talitos.h | 53 ++++++ drivers/dma/fsldma.c | 436 +++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------- drivers/dma/fsldma.h | 1 + 5 files changed, 708 insertions(+), 201 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
