net/tcp: Prepare tcp_md5sig_pool for TCP-AO
TCP-AO, similarly to TCP-MD5, needs to allocate tfms on a slow-path, which is setsockopt() and use crypto ahash requests on fast paths, which are RX/TX softirqs. Also, it needs a temporary/scratch buffer for preparing the hash. Rework tcp_md5sig_pool in order to support other hashing algorithms than MD5. It will make it possible to share pre-allocated crypto_ahash descriptors and scratch area between all TCP hash users. Internally tcp_sigpool calls crypto_clone_ahash() API over pre-allocated crypto ahash tfm. Kudos to Herbert, who provided this new crypto API. I was a little concerned over GFP_ATOMIC allocations of ahash and crypto_request in RX/TX (see tcp_sigpool_start()), so I benchmarked both "backends" with different algorithms, using patched version of iperf3[2]. On my laptop with i7-7600U @ 2.80GHz: clone-tfm per-CPU-requests TCP-MD5 2.25 Gbits/sec 2.30 Gbits/sec TCP-AO(hmac(sha1)) 2.53 Gbits/sec 2.54 Gbits/sec TCP-AO(hmac(sha512)) 1.67 Gbits/sec 1.64 Gbits/sec TCP-AO(hmac(sha384)) 1.77 Gbits/sec 1.80 Gbits/sec TCP-AO(hmac(sha224)) 1.29 Gbits/sec 1.30 Gbits/sec TCP-AO(hmac(sha3-512)) 481 Mbits/sec 480 Mbits/sec TCP-AO(hmac(md5)) 2.07 Gbits/sec 2.12 Gbits/sec TCP-AO(hmac(rmd160)) 1.01 Gbits/sec 995 Mbits/sec TCP-AO(cmac(aes128)) [not supporetd yet] 2.11 Gbits/sec So, it seems that my concerns don't have strong grounds and per-CPU crypto_request allocation can be dropped/removed from tcp_sigpool once ciphers get crypto_clone_ahash() support.
