Originally, all of the control requests share a single buffer( ctrl & input & ctrl_status fields in struct virtio_crypto), this allows queue depth 1 only, the performance of control queue gets limited by this design. In this patch, each request allocates request buffer dynamically, and free buffer after request, so the scope protected by ctrl_lock also get optimized here. It's possible to optimize control queue depth in the next step. A necessary comment is already in code, still describe it again: /* * Note: there are padding fields in request, clear them to zero before * sending to host to avoid to divulge any information. * Ex, virtio_crypto_ctrl_request::ctrl::u::destroy_session::padding[48] */ So use kzalloc to allocate buffer of struct virtio_crypto_ctrl_request.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
