[Ocf-linux-users] OCF userland support

[Egor N. M. <eg...@pa...>]

David,

I noticed that the throughput I get when using cryptotest or OpenSSL speed
is much worse than what I get using ocf-bench.  I also don't get much
improvement, if at all, when running mutiple threads of the above programs.

It seems that this is a result of using ioctl(vs unlocked_ioctl) to 
access /dev/crypto, which
would only allow one process doing crypto at a given time.  Is that a 
known problem and
are there plans to fix it?

Also, is ocf-bench SMP safe?  I had to set CRYPTO_F_BATCH in the 
crp_flags to make it work,
otherwise with the CRYPTO_F_CBIMM it would not work in the SMP mode.

thanks,
