New asynchronous crypto layer acrypto [1] release.
It includes new driver for HIFN 7955/7956 adapters,
VIA padlock driver, driver for CE-InfoSys FastCrypt PCI card equipped
with a SuperCrypt CE99C003B and
dm-crypt and IPsec ESP4 engines ported to acrypto.
Psec ESP4 transport mode benchmark (scp):
2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp -> vanilla 2.6.16-git: ~11.8 MB/s
vanilla 2.6.16-git -> 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp: ~13.2 MB/s
2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp -> acrypto SW 2.6.16: ~12.6 MB/s
acrypto SW 2.6.16 -> 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp: ~13.5 MB/s
IPsec benchmark with HIFN driver:
2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp -> vanilla 2.6.16-git: ~11.8 MB/s
vanilla 2.6.16-git -> 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp: ~13.2 MB/s
2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp -> acrypto HIFN 2.6.16: ~13.2 MB/s
acrypto HIFN 2.6.16 -> 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp: ~13.5 MB/s
As you might expect, CPU usage with HIFN driver and acrypto is noticebly
less, since that setup is CPU limited for stock synchronous kernel
setup (3Ghz P4 with HT enabled).
Above numbers drift with the time, especially when machine running
stock FC4 kernel overheats, and that numbers decrease to 12-13 MB/s.
One can find combined patchsets for 2.6.15 and 2.6.16 trees which
include acrypto with SW crypto provider, dm-crypt and IPsec engines
at acrypto homepage [1].
Credits.
Yakov Lerner for great testing and bug-hunting.
Michal Ludvig for original VIA padlock and fcrypt drivers.
Thank you.
1. Asynchronous crypto layer acrypto.

Hi Evgeniy,
Just interested in the results you are getting below for
comparison to what I see under OCF with Openswan.
What sort of hifn card were you using in the test below,
was it a 7956 PCIX (ie., 64bit?)
How did you measure the throughput ?
I can post the OCF numbers, but it doesn't mean a lot
unless it's a fair comparison :-)
Cheers,
Davidm

It is racoon transport setup with ESP4 only ecryption with AES-128 CBC
mode.
Hardware.
FC4 vanilla kernel 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp runs on P3 3 Ghz with HT
enabled, 512 Mb of RAM, sk98lin gigabit ethernet.
Acrypto kernel runs on Xeon 2.4 Ghz with HT enabled with 1Gb of RAM
and e1000 gigabit ethernet adapter (in pci-x slot).
HIFN card is old 7955 (it was quite challenging to bring it to Russia
when I started acrypto developemnt several years ago, so no new toys)
in PCI-X slot.
When HIFN driver is not loaded, asynchronous SW crypto provider is
loaded for one processor.
Benchmark is scp (yes, it encrypt packets too to simulate some real work
on hosts) of big files over the gigabit link.

That would be good :)

Here are the numbers, although the test is somewhat different,
I have left the full output report from iperf for reference.
Hopefully it's not too hard to find the info in there :-)

OCF test results on uniprocessor x86 hardware: 20060512
-------------------------------------------------------
The setup used for these tests follows, the raw speed of each link
was measured using tcpblast for a rough check before starting.
A B C D
2400 AMD -------- 2.4 Xeon -------- 2.8 Xeon -------- 1.0G PentiumII
890Mbits 940Mbits 940Mbits
System A has a 32bit Intel Gbit NIC, all the rest have Intel Dual GBit
64bit cards. B and C have Hifn 7956 64bit cards (max 66MHz bus). All
systems are uniprocessor without hyperthreading.
Test 1
------
Running iperf tests on system A against system D *WITHOUT* ipsec enabled
gives the following results.

Test 2
------
The following numbers show the results using ipsec WITHOUT the hifn
accelerators. The configuration is for 3des-sha1-modp1024. The tests are
using OpenSwan 2.4.5 with the OCF patches but with no hardware acceleration,
just the existing OpenSwan ALG software crypto.

3des-sha1-modp1024 with pre-shared keys.

Test 4
------
And finally the null crypto case (40% CPU on a 2.4 Xeon, %20 on a 2.8 for
large packets, 100% CPU for the 200 and 64 byte packets). The null crypto
case replaces the hardware accelerator with a theoretical 0 cost
implementation which does nothing. This allows the cost of ipsec processing
to been seen, and also the potential benefits from better acceleration.
