• 130fa5bc8   crypto: crypto_wq - Fix late crypto work queue initialization ... Browse Code »

  The crypto algorithm modules utilizing the crypto daemon could
  be used early when the system start up. Using module_init
  does not guarantee that the daemon's work queue is initialized
  when the cypto alorithm depending on crypto_wq starts. It is necessary
  to initialize the crypto work queue earlier at the subsystem
  init time to make sure that it is initialized
  when used.

  Part of the include cleanups means that the implicit
  inclusion of module.h via device.h is going away. So
  fix things up in advance.

• c73b7d02d   crypto: mark crypto workqueues CPU_INTENSIVE ... Browse Code »

  kcrypto_wq and pcrypt->wq's are used to run ciphers and may consume
  considerable amount of CPU cycles. Mark both as CPU_INTENSIVE so that
  they don't block other work items.

  As the workqueues are primarily used to burn CPU cycles, concurrency
  levels shouldn't matter much and are left at 1. A higher value may be
  beneficial and needs investigation.

  Use dedicated workqueue for crypto subsystem

  A dedicated workqueue named kcrypto_wq is created to be used by crypto
  subsystem. The system shared keventd_wq is not suitable for
  encryption/decryption, because of potential starvation problem.
