crypto: crypto4xx - add backlog queue support
Previously, If the crypto4xx driver used all available
security contexts, it would simply refuse new requests
with -EAGAIN. CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG was ignored.
in case of dm-crypt.c's crypt_convert() function this was
causing the following errors to manifest, if the system was
pushed hard enough:
| EXT4-fs warning (dm-1): ext4_end_bio:314: I/O error -5 writing to ino ..
| EXT4-fs warning (dm-1): ext4_end_bio:314: I/O error -5 writing to ino ..
| EXT4-fs warning (dm-1): ext4_end_bio:314: I/O error -5 writing to ino ..
| JBD2: Detected IO errors while flushing file data on dm-1-8
| Aborting journal on device dm-1-8.
| EXT4-fs error : ext4_journal_check_start:56: Detected aborted journal
| EXT4-fs (dm-1): Remounting filesystem read-only
| EXT4-fs : ext4_writepages: jbd2_start: 2048 pages, inode 498...; err -30
(This did cause corruptions due to failed writes)
To fix this mess, the crypto4xx driver needs to notifiy the
user to slow down. This can be achieved by returning -EBUSY
on requests, once the crypto hardware was falling behind.
Note: -EBUSY has two different meanings. Setting the flag
CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG implies that the request was
successfully queued, by the crypto driver. To achieve this
requirement, the implementation introduces a threshold check and
adds logic to the completion routines in much the same way as
AMD's Cryptographic Coprocessor (CCP) driver do.
Note2: Tests showed that dm-crypt starved ipsec traffic.
Under load, ipsec links dropped to 0 Kbits/s. This is because
dm-crypt's callback would instantly queue the next request.
In order to not starve ipsec, the driver reserves a small
portion of the available crypto contexts for this purpose.
