These patches include talitos, fsl-dma and carma module (caram uses some features of fsl-dma). Write performance will be improved by 25-30% tested by iozone. Write performance is improved about 2% after using spin_lock_bh replace spin_lock_irqsave. CPU load will be reduced by 8%. Changes in v6: - swap the order of original patch 3/6 and 4/6; - merge Ira's patch to reduce the size of original patch; - merge Ira's patch of carma in 8/8; - update documents and descriptions according to Ira's advice; Changes in v5: - add detail description in patch 3/6 about the process of completed descriptor, the process is in align with fsl-dma Reference Manual, illustrate the potential risk and how to reproduce it; - drop the patch 7/7 in v4 according to Timur's comments; Changes in v4: - fix an error in talitos when dest addr is same with src addr, dest should be freed only one time if src is same with dest addr; - correct coding style in fsl-dma according to Ira's comments; - fix a race condition in fsl-dma fsl_tx_status(), remove the interface which is used to free descriptors in queue ld_completed, this interface has been included in fsldma_cleanup_descriptor(), in v3, there is one place missed spin_lock protect; - split the original patch 3/4 up to 2 patches 3/7 and 4/7 according to Li Yang's comments; - fix a warning of unitialized cookie; - add memory copy self test in fsl-dma; - add more detail description about use spin_lock_bh() to instead of spin_lock_irqsave() according to Timur's comments. Changes in v3: - change release process of fsl-dma descriptor for resolve the potential race condition; - add test result when use spin_lock_bh replace spin_lock_irqsave; - modify the benchmark results according to the latest patch. Changes in v2: - rebase onto cryptodev tree; - split the patch 3/4 up to 3 independent patches; - remove the patch 4/4, the fix is not for cryptodev tree; Qiang Liu (8): Talitos: Support for async_tx XOR offload fsl-dma: remove attribute DMA_INTERRUPT of dmaengine fsl-dma: add fsl_dma_free_descriptor() to reduce code duplication fsl-dma: move functions to avoid forward declarations fsl-dma: change release process of dma descriptor for supporting async_tx fsl-dma: use spin_lock_bh to instead of spin_lock_irqsave fsl-dma: fix a warning of unitialized cookie carma: remove unnecessary DMA_INTERRUPT capability drivers/crypto/Kconfig | 9 + drivers/crypto/talitos.c | 413 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/crypto/talitos.h | 53 ++++ drivers/dma/fsldma.c | 487 +++++++++++++++++-------------- drivers/dma/fsldma.h | 17 +- drivers/misc/carma/carma-fpga-program.c | 1 - drivers/misc/carma/carma-fpga.c | 2 +- 7 files changed, 760 insertions(+), 222 deletions(-)
