crypto: cryptd - Per-CPU thread implementation based on kcrypto_wq
Original cryptd thread implementation has scalability issue, this
patch solve the issue with a per-CPU thread implementation.
struct cryptd_queue is defined to be a per-CPU queue, which holds one
struct cryptd_cpu_queue for each CPU. In struct cryptd_cpu_queue, a
struct crypto_queue holds all requests for the CPU, a struct
work_struct is used to run all requests for the CPU.
Testing based on dm-crypt on an Intel Core 2 E6400 (two cores) machine
shows 19.2% performance gain. The testing script is as follow:
-------------------- script begin ---------------------------
#!/bin/sh
dmc_create()
{
# Create a crypt device using dmsetup
dmsetup create $2 --table "0 `blockdev --getsize $1` crypt cbc(aes-asm)?cryptd?plain:plain babebabebabebabebabebabebabebabe 0 $1 0"
}
dmsetup remove crypt0
dmsetup remove crypt1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 bs=1M count=4 >& /dev/null
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram1 bs=1M count=4 >& /dev/null
dmc_create /dev/ram0 crypt0
dmc_create /dev/ram1 crypt1
cat >tr.sh <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
for n in \$(seq 10); do
dd if=/dev/dm-0 of=/dev/null >& /dev/null &
dd if=/dev/dm-1 of=/dev/null >& /dev/null &
done
wait
EOF
for n in $(seq 10); do
/usr/bin/time sh tr.sh
done
rm tr.sh
-------------------- script end ---------------------------
The separator of dm-crypt parameter is changed from "-" to "?", because
"-" is used in some cipher driver name too, and cryptds need to specify
cipher driver name instead of cipher name.
The test result on an Intel Core2 E6400 (two cores) is as follow:

The middle value of elapsed time is:
wo cryptwq: 0.31
w cryptwq: 0.26
The performance gain is about (0.31-0.26)/0.26 = 0.192.
