[Qemu-devel] [RFC v1 0/9] virtio-crypto: add stateless mode support

[Gonglei]

In session mode, the process of create/close a session
makes we have a least one full round-trip cost from guest to host to guest
to be able to send any data for symmetric algorithms. It gets ourself into
synchronization troubles in some scenarios like a web server handling lots
of small requests whose algorithms and keys are different.

We can support one-blob request (no sessions) as well for symmetric
algorithms, including HASH, MAC services. The benefit is obvious for
HASH service because it's usually a one-blob operation.

The code realization is based on the latest virtio crypto spec:

[PATCH v18 0/2] virtio-crypto: virtio crypto device specification
  https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-04/msg03860.html

Patch 1~4 introduce stateless symmetric crypto operations stuff for
stateless mode in cryptodev backend framework.

Patch 5~8 introduce stateless operation for virtio crypto device and
add 5 feature bits to support it.

Patch 9 is a experimental patch for testing the new stateless functions, so
that people don't need to compile a new linux driver to test it (I havn't
realize the driver yet, It's not a big deal). Of cource the patch
can't be upsteamed until the qtest framework supports virtio 1.0 or latter.

Gonglei (9):
  cryptodev: introduce stateless sym operation stuff
  cryptodev: extract one util function
  cryptodev: add missing op_code for symmertric crypto
  cryptodev-builtin: realize stateless operation function
  virtio-crypto: update header file
  virtio-crypto: rework virtio_crypto_handle_request
  virtio-crypto: add stateless crypto request handler
  virtio-crypto: add host feature bits support
  qtest: emulate virtio crypto as a legacy device for experiment
