[PATCH v10 08/25] crypto: iaa - Simplified, efficient job submissions for non-irq mode.

From: Kanchana P Sridhar
Date: Fri Jul 04 2025 - 00:25:09 EST


This patch adds a new procedure, iaa_submit_desc_movdir64b(), that
directly calls movdir64b. The core iaa_crypto routines that submit
compress and decompress jobs now invoke iaa_submit_desc_movdir64b() in
non-irq driver modes, instead of idxd_submit_desc().

idxd_submit_desc() is called only in irq mode.

This improves latency for the most commonly used iaa_crypto usage
(i.e., async non-irq) in zswap/zram by eliminating redundant computes
that would otherwise be incurred in idxd_submit_desc():

p50: -32 ns
p99: -1,048 ns
