Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] Introduce the request handling for dm-crypt
Now the dm-crypt code only implemented the 'based-bio' method to encrypt/ decrypt block data, which can only hanle one bio at one time. As we know, one bio must use the sequential physical address and it also has a limitation of length. Thus it may limit the big block encyrtion/decryption when some hardware support the big block data encryption.
This patch series introduc the 'based-request' method to handle the data encryption/decryption. One request can contain multiple bios, so it can handle big block data to improve the efficiency.
Also this patch refers to the Dinesh K Garg <[email protected]> and franciscofranco <[email protected]> submission of 'Request based dm-crypt', and the original link is:
https://github.com/major91/Zeta-Chromium-N5/commit/621d4821da04cfde383329ebdf4ce8711ec3329c
Now it can encrypt/decrypt successfully with read/write testing, and it shows some efficiency improvements with hardware acceleration. But I really hope to need more comments about the structure and conception. Thanks for your review.
