Add support for Qualcomm Inline Crypto Engine (ICE) to ufs-qcom.

The standards-compliant parts, such as querying the crypto capabilities
and enabling crypto for individual UFS requests, are already handled by
ufshcd-crypto.c, which itself is wired into the blk-crypto framework.
However, ICE requires vendor-specific init, enable, and resume logic,
and it requires that keys be programmed and evicted by vendor-specific
SMC calls.  Make the ufs-qcom driver handle these details.

I tested this on Dragonboard 845c, which is a publicly available
development board that uses the Snapdragon 845 SoC and runs the upstream
Linux kernel.  This is the same SoC used in the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL
phones.  This testing included (among other things) verifying that the
expected ciphertext was produced, both manually using ext4 encryption
and automatically using a block layer self-test I've written.
Hello Eric,

I am interested in testing out this series on 845, 855 and if possile on 865
platforms. Can you give me some more details about your testing please.


Great!  You can test this with fscrypt, a.k.a. ext4 or f2fs encryption.

A basic manual test would be:

1. Build a kernel with:

	CONFIG_BLK_INLINE_ENCRYPTION=y
	CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION=y
	CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION_INLINE_CRYPT=y

Sorry, I forgot: 'CONFIG_SCSI_UFS_CRYPTO=y' is needed too.

Hi Eric,

I tested this manually on db845c, sm8150-mtp and sm8250-mtp.(I added the dts
file entries for 8150 and 8250).

I also ran OsBench test case createfiles[1] on the above platforms.
Following are the results on a non encrypted and encrypted directory on the
same file system(lower the number better)

			8250-MTP	8150-MTP	DB845

nonencrypt_dir(us) 	55.3108954	26.8323124    69.5709552
encrypt_dir(us) 	70.0214426	37.5411254    92.3818296

Great, thanks for testing.

Note that the benchmark you ran (creating many small files, then deleting them)
mostly tests the performance of filenames encryption and directory operations,
not file contents encryption.  Inline encryption is only used for file contents.

In fact, since that benchmark doesn't sync the files before deleting them, there
is no guarantee that any file contents are actually written to disk, and hence
no guarantee that inline encryption got used at all.

Hi Eric,

The results are particularly interesting if you think a sync is not happening. There should not be any performance regression in this case between the two directories. I can try some reading/writing performance tests rather than creating files testing.


It would be more relevant to test the performance of reading/writing file data.

Also, did you try doing any correctness tests?  (See what I suggested earlier.)

I did correctness test as part of manual tests by diffing the content of the copied files and verifying them. I did not run any other tests you mentioned. Feel free to add my Tested-by in the next version you send out.
