This patch enables the 'async' sync_mode in the driver. Further, it sets the default sync_mode to 'async', which makes it easier for IAA hardware acceleration in the iaa_crypto driver to be loaded by default in the most efficient/recommended 'async' mode for parallel compressions/decompressions, namely, asynchronous submission of descriptors, followed by polling for job completions. Earlier, the "sync" mode used to be the default. The iaa_crypto driver documentation has been updated with these changes. This way, anyone who wants to use IAA for zswap/zram can do so after building the kernel, and without having to go through these steps to use async mode: 1) disable all the IAA device/wq bindings that happen at boot time 2) rmmod iaa_crypto 3) modprobe iaa_crypto 4) echo async > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode 5) re-run initialization of the IAA devices and wqs Signed-off-by: Kanchana P Sridhar <kanchana.p.sridhar@xxxxxxxxx> --- Documentation/driver-api/crypto/iaa/iaa-crypto.rst | 11 ++--------- drivers/crypto/intel/iaa/iaa_crypto_main.c | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/crypto/iaa/iaa-crypto.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/crypto/iaa/iaa-crypto.rst index 949bfa1ef6245..8e0e98d509720 100644 --- a/Documentation/driver-api/crypto/iaa/iaa-crypto.rst +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/crypto/iaa/iaa-crypto.rst @@ -272,7 +272,7 @@ The available attributes are: echo async_irq > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode Async mode without interrupts (caller must poll) can be enabled by - writing 'async' to it (please see Caveat):: + writing 'async' to it:: echo async > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode @@ -281,14 +281,7 @@ The available attributes are: echo sync > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode - The default mode is 'sync'. - - Caveat: since the only mechanism that iaa_crypto currently implements - for async polling without interrupts is via the 'sync' mode as - described earlier, writing 'async' to - '/sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode' will internally enable the - 'sync' mode.
