Title:
  zfs: upstream support for hardware-accelerated encryption

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I understand that in Linux 5.0+, certain encryption-related symbols
  have been marked GPL-only, making them unavailable for use by zfs.  As
  a result, using encryption in zfs pools increases cpu load / decreases
  disk throughput.

  There are a pair of upstream pull requests that should improve the
  performance (with performance measurement done on x86-64).  Can these
  be pulled into the Ubuntu kernel?
