[PATCH 0/2] Parallel crypto/IPsec v5

[PATCH 0/2] Parallel crypto/IPsec v5

[Steffen Klassert]

This patchset adds the 'pcrypt' parallel crypto template. With this template it
is possible to process the crypto requests of a transform in parallel without
getting request reorder. This is in particular interesting for IPsec.

The parallel crypto template is based on a generic parallelization/serialization
method. This method uses the remote softirq invocation infrastructure for
parallelization and serialization. With this method data objects can be
processed in parallel, starting at some given point.
After doing some expensive operations in parallel, it is possible to serialize
again. The parallelized data objects return after serialization in the order as
they were before the parallelization. In the case of IPsec, this makes it
possible to run the expensive parts in parallel without getting packet
reordering.

Changes from v4:

- Use the dynamic percpu allocator

- Drop of the obsolete eseqiv changes (eseqiv is the default IV generator
  for blockcipher algorithms on smp machines now).

Changes from v3:

- The generic aead wrapper is dropped.

- tcrypt is extended to test algorithms by name. So it is possible to
  instantiate pcrypt by doing e.g.:
  modprobe tcrypt alg="pcrypt(authenc(hmac(sha1),cbc(aes)))" type=3

Changes from v2:

- The xfrm netlink configuration code is dropped,
  this will be an extra patchset.

- Add generic aead wrapper interface to be able to wrap an aead algorithm
  with an arbitrary crypto template. 

- Convert pcrypt to use the generic aead wrapper.

- Add support for aead algorithms to eseqiv.

- Add support for the pcrypt aead wrapper to authenc. It's now possible to
  choose for pcrypt as the default authenc wrapper with a module parameter.

- Patchset applies to linux-2.6 git current.

Changes from v1:

- cpu_chainiv is dropped, pcrypt uses eseqiv as it's IV generator now.

- Add a xfrm netlink message to be able to choose for pcrypt from userspace.

- Use pcrypt just if it is selected from userspace.

[PATCH 1/2] padata: generic interface for parallel processing

[Steffen Klassert]

This patch introduces an interface to process data objects
in parallel. On request it is possible to serialize again.
The parallelized objects return after serialization in the
same order as they were before the parallelization.

[PATCH 2/2] crypto: pcrypt - Add pcrypt crypto parallelization wrapper

[Steffen Klassert]

This patch adds a parallel crypto template that takes a crypto
algorithm and converts it to process the crypto transforms in
parallel. For the moment only aead is supported.

I'll pick this up once we get the first patch through.

[PATCH 0/2] Parallel crypto/IPsec v6

[Steffen Klassert]

This patchset adds the 'pcrypt' parallel crypto template. With this template it
is possible to process the crypto requests of a transform in parallel without
getting request reorder. This is in particular interesting for IPsec.

The parallel crypto template is based on a generic parallelization/serialization
method. This method uses the remote softirq invocation infrastructure for
parallelization and serialization. With this method data objects can be
processed in parallel, starting at some given point.
After doing some expensive operations in parallel, it is possible to serialize
again. The parallelized data objects return after serialization in the order as
they were before the parallelization. In the case of IPsec, this makes it
possible to run the expensive parts in parallel without getting packet
reordering.

Changes from v5:

- rebased to linux-2.6 git current

Changes from v4:

- Use the dynamic percpu allocator

- Drop of the obsolete eseqiv changes (eseqiv is the default IV generator
  for blockcipher algorithms on smp machines now).

Changes from v3:

- The generic aead wrapper is dropped.

- tcrypt is extended to test algorithms by name. So it is possible to
  instantiate pcrypt by doing e.g.:
  modprobe tcrypt alg="pcrypt(authenc(hmac(sha1),cbc(aes)))" type=3

Changes from v2:

- The xfrm netlink configuration code is dropped,
  this will be an extra patchset.

- Add generic aead wrapper interface to be able to wrap an aead algorithm
  with an arbitrary crypto template. 

- Convert pcrypt to use the generic aead wrapper.

- Add support for aead algorithms to eseqiv.

- Add support for the pcrypt aead wrapper to authenc. It's now possible to
  choose for pcrypt as the default authenc wrapper with a module parameter.

- Patchset applies to linux-2.6 git current.

Changes from v1:

- cpu_chainiv is dropped, pcrypt uses eseqiv as it's IV generator now.

- Add a xfrm netlink message to be able to choose for pcrypt from userspace.

- Use pcrypt just if it is selected from userspace.

[PATCH 1/2] padata: generic interface for parallel processing

[Steffen Klassert]

This patch introduces an interface to process data objects
in parallel. On request it is possible to serialize again.
The parallelized objects return after serialization in the
same order as they were before the parallelization.

When pcrypt instantiates an algorithm, it should set cra_name to
%s and cra_driver_name to pcrypt(%s).  So as long as the pcrypt
priority is higher than the underlying algorithm, it should all
work.

See for instance how cryptd does it.

As it is, I can instantiate pcrypt if the priority of pcrypt is lower
than the priority of the underlying algorithm. If I do the priority
check in crypto_alg_tested() the other way arround, I get it to work if
pcrypt has a higher priority than the underlying algorithm. So I guess
we need the patch below, right? If so, I would send a signed-off patch.

Can you give me an example with actual numbers and what you expect
to happen?

In pcrypt_alloc_instance() I do
inst->alg.cra_priority = alg->cra_priority + 100;

So, in my case authenc has priority 2000 and pcrypt has priority 2100.
In this case pcrypt is not instantiated if I use %s for pcrypt as
cra_name. If I do 
inst->alg.cra_priority = alg->cra_priority - 100
it will be instantiated with priority 1900 but it will not be used
because the priority of authenc is higher.

So I did the priority check in crypto_alg_tested() the other way around.
Then I can instantiate pcrypt with priority 2100 and I can use it.

Can you send me a pcrypt patch that I can use to reproduce this?

The check modified is meant to replace instances of the same
implementation (i.e., you're replaceing aes-x86-64 with a newer
version of aes-x86-64).  It should never do anything when you add
a different implementation of the same algorithm.

So I'm surprised that you're seeing a difference when changing
that check.  Because unless you're creating two pcrypt objects
with the same driver name, or your pcrypt object has the wrong
driver name, then this change should make no difference whatsoever.

Yes, I will send the full patchset including the tcrypt changes to
instantiate pcrypt.

As the patchset is, I'm not able to instantiate pcrypt here. I need to
either change the priority check in crypto_alg_tested() or to make
pcrypt using a lower priority than authenc.

I was just surprised that I was able to instantiate pcrypt if it has a
lower priority than the underlying authenc algorithm. So I searched for
priority checks like the one in crypto_alg_tested() and in fact changing
this check got it to work as I described above.

OK, the patch I just posted to the list should fix the problem.

I was able to test it suing

modprobe tcrypt alg='pcrypt(authenc(hmac(sha1-generic),cbc(aes-generic)))' type=3

I applied your patch on top of the last pcrypt patchset, but
unfortunately it does not change anything here.

If I do
modprobe tcrypt alg='pcrypt(authenc(hmac(sha1-generic),cbc(aes-generic)))' type=3

it instantiates

authenc(hmac(sha1-generic),cbc(aes-generic))

but not 

pcrypt(authenc(hmac(sha1-generic),cbc(aes-generic)))

regardless your patch applied or not.

OK.  Can you send me the patches you used against the current
cryptodev tree (I only just pushed so give it an hour or so)?
I'll see if I can reproduce it here.

I'll send the remaining two patches in reply to this mail.
The strange thing is that I can instantiate pcrypt if the priority is
lower than the priority of authenc, but not if it's equal or higher.

[PATCH 1/2] padata: generic interface for parallel processing

[Steffen Klassert]

This patch introduces an interface to process data objects
in parallel. On request it is possible to serialize again.
The parallelized objects return after serialization in the
same order as they were before the parallelization.
