converting sync driver to async

[avital sela <avitalsela95@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have written sha and aes HW accelerator drivers for our custom
drivers (thanks for your patient help) and they work great.
To exploit the full potential of the HW I want to port them to the
ASYNC interface and have some questions.
1. Using my current setup I see the following results (measured with iperf)
no ipsec  -85 mbits
ESP in tunnel mode with null algs  - 45 mbits
ESP in tunnel mode with aes and sha1 - 32 mbits
Is it reasonable to have the throughput drop so much even without any
actual crypto going on? Can this mostly be attributed to the bigger
packets ?
My understanding of the results is that the maximum throughput I can
hope to achieve on this systen by only improving the crypto drivers is
45 mbits?
2. Is there any comparison somewhere between OCF performance and Acrypto?
3. Using drivers/crypto/talitos as a reference I am setting the alg
name to "authenc(hmac(sha1),cbc(aes))",cra_flags to
CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AEAD | CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC;
   and cra_type to &crypto_aead_type. My existing driver had a
cra_list field. Is that required for this type of driver as well?

Thanks,
Avital
