Is there any easy way to use your work to make shash fast for aesni? I
basically just want it to perform as well as it used to with my patch.
Yes. We could add a sync version of aesni that simply falls back
to aes-generic when simd is unavailable.
But I think before anyone attempts this we should explore making
mac80211 async like IPsec. Is there any fundamental reason why
that is not possible? Have the wireless people expressed any
objections to making this async before?
I don't think it has been discussed recently, but mac80211 is already
a complicated beast, so if this added any significant complexity
it might not be worth it.
Truth is though, I know very little about what changes would be
needed to make it do async decrypt, so maybe it would be a simple
matter?
Thanks,
Ben
