[PATCH] crypto: tcrypt speed: fix filter for aead algorithms

[Cristian Stoica]

test_aead_speed is written for sync algorithms without specifically
requiring them. The effect is that an async algorithm may be used without
setting up the request callback, this leading to a kernel panic.

Please fix it to test asynchronously instead.

Thanks,

Thanks for review.

I think that a fix for async aead requires a different test function as
is the case with test_cipher_speed/test_acipher_speed and also with
test_hash_speed/test_ahash_speed.

But I see a issue here with the current async tests:

int test_acipher_cycles(...)
{
  for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
    [...]
    ret = do_one_acipher_op(req, crypto_ablkcipher_encrypt(req));
    [...]
  }
}

and in do_one_acipher_op we wait for completion of
crypto_ablkcipher_encrypt:

if (ret == -EINPROGRESS || ret == -EBUSY) {
	struct tcrypt_result *tr = req->base.data;
	ret = wait_for_completion_interruptible(&tr->completion);
}

Doesn't this defeat the purpose of async execution?

We're trying to measure the minimum amount of time it takes
for the implementation to handle one request so waiting for
completion makes sense.
