[PATCH 0/4] Optimize dm-verity using 2-way interleaved SHA-256 hashing

[Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>]

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
