Hello Colin, or anyone else affected, Accepted zfs-linux into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs- linux/0.8.3-1ubuntu12.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to zfs-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1881107 Title: zfs: backport AES-GCM performance accelleration Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in zfs-linux source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in zfs-linux source package in Groovy: Fix Released Bug description: == SRU Justification == Upstream commit 31b160f0a6c673c8f926233af2ed6d5354808393 contains AES- GCM acceleration changes that significantly improve encrypted performance. Tests on a memory backed pool show performance improvements of ~15-22% for AES-CCM writes, ~17-20% AES-CCM reads, 34-36% AES-GCM writes and ~79-80% AES-GCM reads on a Sandybridge x86-64 CPU, so this looks like a promising optimization that will benefit a lot of users. == The fix == Backport of upstream 31b160f0a6c673c8f926233af2ed6d5354808393 - this is already backported in Groovy ZFS 0.8.3-1ubuntu13 == Test case == Run ZFS performance tests from ubuntu_performance_zfs_encryption ubuntu kernel team autotests. With the fix the encryption runs significantly faster, as noted earlier in the SRU justification. Also test with the 4 types of ZFS ubuntu autotests, should not fail any of these. == Regression Potential == This fix alters the crypto engine and adds in new optimizations for CPUs that have capable instruction sets. There is a risk that this new crypto code is erroneous.
