Calling runtime PM API for every block causes serious perf hit to
crypto operations that are done on a long buffer.
As crypto is performed on a page boundary, encrypting large buffers can
cause a series of crypto operations divided by page. The runtime PM API
is also called those many times.
We call runtime_pm_get_sync only at beginning on the session (cra_init)
and runtime_pm_put at the end. This result in upto a 50% speedup.
This doesn't make the driver to keep the system awake as runtime get/put
is only called during a crypto session which completes usually quickly.

Would it be worth it to investigate a pm_runtime autosuspend
approach rather than knocking runtime PM out here completely? I am
not clear if the overhead is coming from the pm_runtime calls
themselves or the actual idling of the IP, but if it's the idling of
the IP causing the slowdown, with a large enough autosuspend_delay
we don't actually sleep between each block but after a long enough
period of idle time we would actually suspend.
Indeed, I think this patch is bogus. cra_init is associated
with the tfm object which is usually long-lived. So doing power
management there makes no sense.
Cheers,
I can investigate this further, but I believe this patch itself gave a
noticeable performance boost.
This is an optimization anyway, and not critical for functionality.
