Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Optimize dm-verity using 2-way interleaved SHA-256 hashing
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2025 14:16:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251014211657.113603-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
This series makes dm-verity take advantage of the 2-way interleaved
SHA-256 hashing code that was added in 6.18. fsverity already does
this; this brings the same optimization to dm-verity. This increases
SHA-256 hashing throughput by up to 98% on x86_64 and 70% on arm64.
To make this possible, this series makes dm-verity use the SHA-256
library when the hash algorithm is SHA-256 (which it usually is). That
actually provides a ~2% performance improvement by itself, in addition
to the larger improvement from interleaved hashing on x86_64 and arm64.
As usual, I verified that 'verity-compat-test' still passes.
This series is targeting linux-dm/for-next.
Eric Biggers (4):
dm-verity: remove log message with shash driver name
dm-verity: use SHA-256 library for SHA-256
dm-verity: reduce scope of real and wanted digests
dm-verity: use 2-way interleaved SHA-256 hashing when supported
