mark crypto requests with ``callback immediately'' to avoid doing a context
switch to return crypto results. This completes the work to eliminate
context switches for using software crypto via the crypto subsystem (with
symmetric crypto ops).
should be done in crypto_done rather than in the callback thread
o use this flag to mark operations from /dev/crypto since the callback
routine just does a wakeup; this eliminates the last unneeded ctx switch
o change CRYPTO_F_NODELAY to CRYPTO_F_BATCH with an inverted meaning
so "0" becomes the default/desired setting (needed for user-mode
compatibility with openbsd)
o change crypto_dispatch to honor CRYPTO_F_BATCH instead of always
dispatching immediately
o remove uses of CRYPTO_F_NODELAY
o define COP_F_BATCH for ops submitted through /dev/crypto and pass
this on to the op that is submitted
Similar changes and more eventually coming for asymmetric ops.
MFC if re gives approval.
from the KAME IPsec implementation, but with heavy borrowing and influence
of openbsd. A key feature of this implementation is that it uses the kernel
crypto framework to do all crypto work so when h/w crypto support is present
IPsec operation is automatically accelerated. Otherwise the protocol
implementations are rather differet while the SADB and policy management
code is very similar to KAME (for the moment).
Note that this implementation is enabled with a FAST_IPSEC option. With this
you get all protocols; i.e. there is no FAST_IPSEC_ESP option.
FAST_IPSEC and IPSEC are mutually exclusive; you cannot build both into a
single system.
This software is well tested with IPv4 but should be considered very
experimental (i.e. do not deploy in production environments). This software
does NOT currently support IPv6. In fact do not configure FAST_IPSEC and
INET6 in the same system.
