If crypto4xx is used in conjunction with dm-crypt, the available ring buffer elements are not enough to handle the load properly. On an aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 encrypted swap partition the read performance is abyssal: (tested with hdparm -t) /dev/mapper/swap_crypt: Timing buffered disk reads: 14 MB in 3.68 seconds = 3.81 MB/sec The patch increases both PPC4XX_NUM_SD and PPC4XX_NUM_PD to 256. This improves the performance considerably: /dev/mapper/swap_crypt: Timing buffered disk reads: 104 MB in 3.03 seconds = 34.31 MB/sec Furthermore, PPC4XX_LAST_SD, PPC4XX_LAST_GD and PPC4XX_LAST_PD can be easily calculated from their respective PPC4XX_NUM_* constant.
