[PATCH net-next 00/10] net: faster and simpler CRC32C computation

[Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>]

Update networking code that computes the CRC32C of packets to just call
crc32c() without unnecessary abstraction layers.  The result is faster
and simpler code.

Patches 1-7 add skb_crc32c() and remove the overly-abstracted and
inefficient __skb_checksum().

Patches 8-10 replace skb_copy_and_hash_datagram_iter() with
skb_copy_and_crc32c_datagram_iter(), eliminating the unnecessary use of
the crypto layer.  This unblocks the conversion of nvme-tcp to call
crc32c() directly instead of using the crypto layer, which patch 9 does.

I'm proposing that this series be taken through net-next for 6.16, but
patch 9 could use an ack from the NVME maintainers.

Eric Biggers (10):
  net: introduce CONFIG_NET_CRC32C
  net: add skb_crc32c()
  net: use skb_crc32c() in skb_crc32c_csum_help()
  RDMA/siw: use skb_crc32c() instead of __skb_checksum()
  sctp: use skb_crc32c() instead of __skb_checksum()
  net: fold __skb_checksum() into skb_checksum()
  lib/crc32: remove unused support for CRC32C combination
  net: add skb_copy_and_crc32c_datagram_iter()
  nvme-tcp: use crc32c() and skb_copy_and_crc32c_datagram_iter()
  net: remove skb_copy_and_hash_datagram_iter()
