The implementations of the crypto algorithms (aead, skcipher, etc) in
the QAT driver do not properly support requests with the
CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG flag set. If the HW queue is full, the driver
returns -EBUSY but does not enqueue the request. This can result in
applications like dm-crypt waiting indefinitely for the completion of a
request that was never submitted to the hardware.
Fix this by adding a software backlog queue: if the ring buffer is more
than eighty percent full, then the request is enqueued to a backlog
list and the error code -EBUSY is returned back to the caller.
Requests in the backlog queue are resubmitted at a later time, in the
context of the callback of a previously submitted request.
The request for which -EBUSY is returned is then marked as -EINPROGRESS
once submitted to the HW queues.
The submission loop inside the function qat_alg_send_message() has been
modified to decide which submission policy to use based on the request
flags. If the request does not have the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG set,
the previous behaviour has been preserved.

README
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.
