If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sabrina Dubroca commit d3287e4038ca4f81e02067ab72d087af7224c68b upstream. This reverts commit ab046a5d4be4c90a3952a0eae75617b49c0cb01b. It was trying to work around an issue at the crypto layer by excluding ASYNC implementations of gcm(aes), because a bug in the AESNI version caused reordering when some requests bypassed the cryptd queue while older requests were still pending on the queue. This was fixed by commit 38b2f68b4264 ("crypto: aesni - Fix cryptd reordering problem on gcm"), which pre-dates ab046a5d4be4. Herbert Xu confirmed that all ASYNC implementations are expected to maintain the ordering of completions wrt requests, so we can use them in MACsec. On my test machine, this restores the performance of a single netperf instance, from 1.4Gbps to 4.4Gbps.
