This patch adds a new backend called LKCF to cryptodev, LKCF stands
for Linux Kernel Cryptography Framework. If a cryptographic
accelerator that supports LKCF is installed on the the host (you can
see which algorithms are supported in host's LKCF by executing
'cat /proc/crypto'), then RSA operations can be offloaded.
More background info can refer to: https://lwn.net/Articles/895399/,
'keyctl[5]' in the picture.
This patch:
1. Modified some interfaces of cryptodev and cryptodev-backend to
support asynchronous requests.
2. Extended the DER encoder in crypto, so that we can export the
RSA private key into PKCS#8 format and upload it to host kernel.
3. Added a new backend for cryptodev.
I tested the backend with a QAT card, the qps of RSA-2048-decryption
is about 25k/s, and the main-loop becomes the bottleneck. The qps
using OpenSSL directly is about 6k/s (with 6 vCPUs). We will support
IO-thread for cryptodev in another series later.
PING, sorry if it made noise, can anyone help take a look at this patch,
thanks.
Best regards,
