      net/tls: Add support for async encryption of records for performance · a42055e8
      Vakul Garg authored 
      In current implementation, tls records are encrypted & transmitted
serially. Till the time the previously submitted user data is encrypted,
the implementation waits and on finish starts transmitting the record.
This approach of encrypt-one record at a time is inefficient when
asynchronous crypto accelerators are used. For each record, there are
overheads of interrupts, driver softIRQ scheduling etc. Also the crypto
accelerator sits idle most of time while an encrypted record's pages are
handed over to tcp stack for transmission.

This patch enables encryption of multiple records in parallel when an
async capable crypto accelerator is present in system. This is achieved
by allowing the user space application to send more data using sendmsg()
even while previously issued data is being processed by crypto
accelerator. This requires returning the control back to user space
application after submitting encryption request to accelerator. This
also means that zero-copy mode of encryption cannot be used with async
accelerator as we must be done with user space application buffer before
returning from sendmsg().

There can be multiple records in flight to/from the accelerator. Each of
the record is represented by 'struct tls_rec'. This is used to store the
memory pages for the record.

After the records are encrypted, they are added in a linked list called
tx_ready_list which contains encrypted tls records sorted as per tls
sequence number. The records from tx_ready_list are transmitted using a
newly introduced function called tls_tx_records(). The tx_ready_list is
polled for any record ready to be transmitted in sendmsg(), sendpage()
after initiating encryption of new tls records. This achieves parallel
encryption and transmission of records when async accelerator is
present.

There could be situation when crypto accelerator completes encryption
later than polling of tx_ready_list by sendmsg()/sendpage(). Therefore
we need a deferred work context to be able to transmit records from
tx_ready_list. The deferred work context gets scheduled if applications
are not sending much data through the socket. If the applications issue
sendmsg()/sendpage() in quick succession, then the scheduling of
tx_work_handler gets cancelled as the tx_ready_list would be polled from
application's context itself. This saves scheduling overhead of deferred
work.

The patch also brings some side benefit. We are able to get rid of the
concept of CLOSED record. This is because the records once closed are
either encrypted and then placed into tx_ready_list or if encryption
fails, the socket error is set. This simplifies the kernel tls
sendpath. However since tls_device.c is still using macros, accessory
functions for CLOSED records have been retained.

      net: freescale: fix return type of ndo_start_xmit function · 06983aa5
      YueHaibing authored 
      The method ndo_start_xmit() is defined as returning an 'netdev_tx_t',
which is a typedef for an enum type, so make sure the implementation in
this driver has returns 'netdev_tx_t' value, and change the function
return type to netdev_tx_t.

      Allow the configuration of the MDIO clock divider when the Device Tree
contains 'clock-frequency' property (similar to I2C and SPI buses).
Because the hardware may have lost its state during suspend/resume,
re-apply the MDIO clock divider upon resumption.

Turns out this entire function doesn't actually do anything since
SK_UNUSED is just casting the pointer to void. Remove it to silence
this Clang warning.
