Merge branch 'cxgb-crypto'
Hariprasad Shenai says: ==================== crypto/chcr: Add support for Chelsio Crypto Driver This patch series adds support for Chelsio Crypto driver. The patch series has been created against net-next tree and includes patches for Chelsio Low Level Driver(cxgb4) and adds the new crypto Upper Layer Driver(chcr) under a new directory drivers/crypto/chelsio. Patch 1/4 ("cxgb4: Add support for dynamic allocation of resources for ULD") adds support for dynamic allocation of resources for ULD. The objective of this patch is to provide generic interface for upper layer drivers to allocate and initialize hardware resources. The present cxgb4 (network driver) apart from network functionality, also initializes hardware and thus acts as lower layer driver for other drivers to use hardware resources. Thus it acts as both a Low level driver for Upper layer driver's like iw_cxgb4, cxgb4i and cxgb4it and a Network Driver. Right now the allocation of resources for Upper layer driver's is done statically. Patch 1/4 adds a new infrastructure for dynamic allocation of resources. cxgb4 will read the hardware capability through firmware and allocate/free the queues for Upper layer drivers when the respective driver's are loaded and freed when unloaded. Patch 2/3, 3/4 and 4/4 adds support for Chelsio Crypto Driver. The Crypto driver will act as another ULD on top of cxgb4. In this patch series, the ULD API framework is used only by crypto and other ULD's will make use of it in the next series. This patch series is only for review, if this looks ok we will test it thoroughly and send request for merge. We have included all the maintainers of respective drivers. Kindly review the changes and provide feedback on the same. V3: - Removed crypto queues from cxgb4 and added support for dynamic allocation of resources for Upper layer drivers - Dependency fix in Kconfig. V2: - Some residual code cleanup - Adds pr_fmt with chcr (KBUILD_MODNAME) added - Changes var name to accomodate them <80 columns in the chcr_register_alg - Support for printing the crypto queue stats - Fix compile warnings reported by kbuild bot for certain architectures - Dependency fix in Kconfig. - If the request has the MAY_BACKLOG bit set and hardware queue is full the request is queued up else -EBUSY is returned to throttle the user. The queue when executed and processed returns -EINPROGRESS in completion. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
