Hello, I am evaluating using cryptodev-linux instead of ocf-linux as it appears to make more recent releases .
My questions are: (1) Why is the cryptodev-linux maintained separately outside of the kernel tree? Is there a plan to push it to the mainline kernel? (2) What features will we be missing out on if we don't use the extras/ openssl patch . I am not very comfortable with (re-)compile openssl as ocf-linux works without extra patches. (3) Why is the extra patch maintained outside of the OpenSSL community? Is it supposed to maintained out-of-tree for a particular reason? (4) Lastly, have you seen performance improvements with using cryptodev-linux vs OCF-linux? I guess getting rid of a layer would give you a speedup. Ideally I would've been pleased to see an in-kernel /dev/crypto implementation that works with openssl to avoid build extra modules. But I'm sure there is a good reason why thats not the case. If someone could explain to me, would be grateful. Thank you. Regards, Joel
