This series includes patches to remove CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY flag
and allocate the required memory within the crypto request object.

CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY flag is limited only to dm-crypt use-cases,
which seems to be 4 entries maximum.
Therefore in reqsize we allocate memory for maximum 4 entries
for src and 1 for IV, and the same for dst, both aligned.
If the driver needs more than the 4 entries maximum, the memory
is dynamically allocated, at runtime.

Meenakshi Aggarwal (5):
  crypto:caam - avoid allocating memory at crypto request runtime for
    skcipher
  crypto:caam - avoid allocating memory at crypto request runtime for
    aead
  crypto: caam - avoid allocating memory at crypto request runtime for
    hash
  crypto: caam/qi - avoid allocating memory at crypto request runtime
  crypto: caam/qi2 - avoid allocating memory at crypto request runtime

Hi Eric,

 

We are not updating the functioning of CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY flag.
We have introduced the changes in CAAM driver and this flag is no longer
required for CAAM use-cases.

I will update the description of my patches in next version.

Thanks,
Meenakshi

dm-integrity shouldn't be using ALLOCATES_MEMORY at all.  It's
using GFP_KERNEL allocations right next to the crypto operations.

But those are some seriously big crypto operations, 16 thousand
4K pages in one hit?

Hi Eric, Herbert,

I think Giovanni should send the patch with suggested changes.

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks,
Meenakshi

Hi Giovanni,

When are you planning to send the patches?

Thanks,
