Subject: [PATCH v5 0/3] crypto: engine - support for parallel and batch requests

Added support for executing multiple, independent or not, requests
for crypto engine based on a retry mechanism. If hardware was unable
to execute a backlog request, enqueue it back in front of crypto-engine
queue, to keep the order of requests.

Now do_one_request() returns:
>= 0: hardware executed the request successfully;
< 0: this is the old error path. If hardware has support for retry
mechanism, the backlog request is put back in front of crypto-engine
queue. For backwards compatibility, if the retry support is not available,
the crypto-engine will work as before.
Only MAY_BACKLOG requests are enqueued back into crypto-engine's queue,
since the others can be dropped.

If hardware supports batch requests, crypto-engine can handle this use-case
through do_batch_requests callback.

Since, these new features, cannot be supported by all hardware,
the crypto-engine framework is backward compatible:
- by using the crypto_engine_alloc_init function, to initialize
crypto-engine, the new callback is NULL and retry mechanism is
disabled, so crypto-engine will work as before these changes;
- to support multiple requests, in parallel, retry_support variable
must be set on true, in driver.
- to support batch requests, do_batch_requests callback must be
implemented in driver, to execute a batch of requests. The link
between the requests, is expected to be done in driver, in
do_one_request().

---
Changes since V4:
- added, in algapi a function to add a request in front of queue;
- added a retry mechanism: if hardware is unable to execute
a backlog request, enqueue it back in front of crypto-engine
queue, to keep the order of requests.

Changes since V3:
- removed can_enqueue_hardware callback and added a start-stop
mechanism based on the on the return value of do_one_request().

Changes since V2:
- readded cur_req in crypto-engine, to keep, the exact behavior as before
these changes, if can_enqueue_more is not implemented: send requests
to hardware, _one-by-one_, on crypto_pump_requests, and complete it,
on crypto_finalize_request, and so on.
- do_batch_requests is available only with can_enqueue_more.

Changes since V1:
- changed the name of can_enqueue_hardware callback to can_enqueue_more, and
the argument of this callback to crypto_engine structure (for cases when more
than ore crypto-engine is used).
- added a new patch with support for batch requests.

Changes since V0 (RFC):
- removed max_no_req and no_req, as the number of request that can be
processed in parallel;
- added a new callback, can_enqueue_more, to check whether the hardware
can process a new request.

crypto: algapi - create function to add request in front of queue

mechanism

Subject: [PATCH v5 2/3] crypto: engine - support for parallel requests based on retry mechanism

Added support for executing multiple requests, in parallel,
for crypto engine based on a retry mechanism.
If hardware was unable to execute a backlog request, enqueue it
back in front of crypto-engine queue, to keep the order
of requests.

A new variable is added, retry_support (this is to keep the
backward compatibility of crypto-engine) , which keeps track
whether the hardware has support for retry mechanism and,
also, if can run multiple requests.

If do_one_request() returns:
>= 0: hardware executed the request successfully;
< 0: this is the old error path. If hardware has support for retry
mechanism, the request is put back in front of crypto-engine queue.
For backwards compatibility, if the retry support is not available,
the crypto-engine will work as before.
Only MAY_BACKLOG requests are enqueued back into
crypto-engine's queue, since the others can be dropped.

The new crypto_engine_alloc_init_and_set function, initializes
crypto-engine, sets the maximum size for crypto-engine software
queue (not hardcoded anymore) and the retry_support variable
is set, by default, to false.
On crypto_pump_requests(), if do_one_request() returns >= 0,
a new request is send to hardware, until there is no space in
hardware and do_one_request() returns < 0.

By default, retry_support is false and crypto-engine will
work as before - will send requests to hardware,
one-by-one, on crypto_pump_requests(), and complete it, on
crypto_finalize_request(), and so on.

To support multiple requests, in each driver, retry_support
must be set on true, and if do_one_request() returns an error
the request must not be freed, since it will be enqueued back
into crypto-engine's queue.

When all drivers, that use crypto-engine now, will be updated for
retry mechanism, the retry_support variable can be removed.

This looks a lot nicer!

However, I do have one little issue with the error case. I think
we should not lump all errors together. For queueing errors, we
should requeue regardless of MAY_BACKLOG. After all, we don't
want to have random packet loss just becayse the queue was full.

For other errors (e.g., a kmalloc error), we should requeue the
MAY_BACKLOG requests and drop everythin else.

Thanks,

Do you refer to the error codes returned by do_one_request (which sends
the req to hw for execution)?

If this returns:
1. 0, success;
2. -ENOSPC, I'll requeue it regardless of MAY_BACKLOG;
3. any other error (-EIO, -EINVAL, -ENOMEM, etc), I'll requeue only
MAY_BACKLOG requests.

Thanks,
Iulia

Yes that sounds perfect.
