The existing iaa crypto async support provides an implementation that satisfies the interface but does so in a synchronous manner - it fills and submits the IDXD descriptor and then waits for it to complete before returning. This isn't a problem at the moment, since all existing callers (e.g. zswap) wrap any asynchronous callees in a synchronous wrapper anyway. This change makes the iaa crypto async implementation truly asynchronous: it fills and submits the IDXD descriptor, then returns immediately with -EINPROGRESS. It also sets the descriptor's 'request completion irq' bit and sets up a callback with the IDXD driver which is called when the operation completes and the irq fires. The existing callers such as zswap use synchronous wrappers to deal with -EINPROGRESS and so work as expected without any changes. This mode can be enabled by writing 'async_irq' to the sync_mode iaa_crypto driver attribute: echo async_irq > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode Async mode without interrupts (caller must poll) can be enabled by writing 'async' to it: echo async > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode The default sync mode can be enabled by writing 'sync' to it: echo sync > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode The sync_mode value setting at the time the IAA algorithms are registered is captured in each algorithm's crypto_ctx and used for all compresses and decompresses when using a given algorithm.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
