kcrypto_wq and pcrypt->wq's are used to run ciphers and may consume considerable amount of CPU cycles. Mark both as CPU_INTENSIVE so that they don't block other work items. As the workqueues are primarily used to burn CPU cycles, concurrency levels shouldn't matter much and are left at 1. A higher value may be beneficial and needs investigation. Signed-off-by:

kobject_put is called from padata_free for the padata kobject. The kobject's release function frees the padata instance, so don't call kobject_put for the padata kobject from pcrypt. Reported-and-tested-by:

The padata cpumask change notifier passes a padata_cpumask to the notifier chain. So we use this cpumask instead of asking padata for the cpumask. Signed-off-by:

In the crypto-layer an instance refers usually to a crypto instance. The struct pcrypt_instance is not related to a crypto instance. It rather contains the padata informations, so we rename it to padata_pcrypt. The functions that handle this struct are renamed accordingly. Signed-off-by:

We rename padata_alloc to padata_alloc_possible because this function allocates a padata_instance and uses the cpu_possible mask for parallel and serial workers. Also we rename __padata_alloc to padata_alloc to avoid to export underlined functions. Underlined functions are considered to be private to padata. Users are updated accordingly. Signed-off-by:

If the callback cpumask is empty, we crash with a division by zero when we try to calculate a callback cpu. So we don't update the callback cpu in pcrypt_do_parallel if the callback cpumask is empty. Signed-off-by:

Added sysfs interface to pcrypt. Now pcrypt subsystem creates two sysfs directories with corresponding padata sysfs objects: /sys/kernel/pcrypt/[pencrypt|pdecrypt] Signed-off-by:

The aim of this patch is to make two separate cpumasks for padata parallel and serial workers respectively. It allows user to make more thin and sophisticated configurations of padata framework. For example user may bind parallel and serial workers to non-intersecting CPU groups to gain better performance. Also each padata instance has notifiers chain for its cpumasks now. If either parallel or serial or both masks were changed all interested subsystems will get notification about that. It's especially useful if padata user uses algorithm for callback CPU selection according to serial cpumask. Signed-off-by:

To return -EINPROGRESS on success in padata_do_parallel was considered to be odd. This patch changes this to return zero on success. Also the only user of padata, pcrypt is adapted to convert a return of zero to -EINPROGRESS within the crypto layer. This also removes the pcrypt fallback if padata_do_parallel was called on a not running padata instance as we can't handle it anymore. This fallback was unused, so it's save to remove it.

This patch introduces the PADATA_INVALID flag which is checked on padata start. This will be used to mark a padata instance as invalid, if the padata cpumask does not intersect with the active cpumask. we change padata_start to return an error if the PADATA_INVALID is set. Also we adapt the only padata user, pcrypt to this change. Signed-off-by:

I was concerned about the error handling for crypto_get_attr_type() in pcrypt_alloc_aead(). Steffen Klassert pointed out that we could simply avoid calling crypto_get_attr_type() if we passed the type and mask as a parameters. Signed-off-by:
