I’ve gone down the path of exploring parallelization of crypto in Strongswan from [1].
It seems to be working as a) the expected output shows up in ‘cat /proc/crypto’ and b) under load in htop, it’s now showing kernel activity on all cores vs. a single core before (not sophisticated, but it definitely changed after the modprobe). My question to the group is, how does one make it stick across boots? I tried the trick of putting the modprobe in /etc/rc.local and That Was Bad (continuous reboot loop). Backed it out and we’re ok. Obviously there has to be a better way. Wondering what the proper way in Centos 7 is for this module. The process in [2] doesn’t seem to work for installing them. Thanks for sharing any experiences.
