This patch main goal is to improve driver performance by moving the crypto request from a list to a RDR ring shadow. This is possible since there is one producer and one consume for this RDR request shadow and one ring descriptor is left unused. Doing this change eliminates the use of spinlock when accessing the descriptor ring and the need to dynamicaly allocate memory per crypto request. The crypto request is placed in the first RDR shadow descriptor only if there are enough descriptors, when the result handler is invoked, it fetches the first result descriptor from RDR shadow.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
