Subject: [PATCH 2/2] crypto: vmx: Increase priority of aes-cbc cipher
Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2016 16:47:03 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1465541223-17537-2-git-send-email-anton@ozlabs.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1465541223-17537-1-git-send-email-anton@ozlabs.org>
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
All of the VMX AES ciphers (AES, AES-CBC and AES-CTR) are set at
priority 1000. Unfortunately this means we never use AES-CBC and
AES-CTR, because the base AES-CBC cipher that is implemented on
top of AES inherits its priority.
To fix this, AES-CBC and AES-CTR have to be a higher priority. Set
them to 2000.
Testing on a POWER8 with:
cryptsetup benchmark --cipher aes --key-size 256
Shows decryption speed increase from 402.4 MB/s to 3069.2 MB/s,
over 7x faster. Thanks to Mike Strosaker for helping me debug
this issue.
Fixes: 8c755ace357c ("crypto: vmx - Adding CBC routines for VMX module")
