ZFS-Crypto is behind ZoL

[FransUrbo]

Sorry for adding another one of these - just a heads up. The commit was done just a few minutes ago, but I'm having a problem with my pool/volumes/something and I'm pulling a couple times a day hoping something will fix it...

It's another Illumos commit - 'Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work' (openzfs/zfs@e8b96c6).

I'm trying to merge it myself, but there's so many things I don't understand about the inner workings of ZFS...

Ok, looking closer at this, it seems most of the stuff was changes of number of arguments to zio_rewrite(). And two other things, that I don't know what they're for but I just deleted them. Looked harmless enough :)

It at least compiles without problem (currently building packages and will install and test them within the hour).

How should I proceed? A pull request will be quite big (include A LOT of ZoL stuff not included - yet - in the ZFS-Crypto/0.6.3 branch).

[sempervictus]

ABD patch set is making the merge rather problematic. The hashing algo's have changed, as have the calls to them. Looks like sha-mac wasnt updated as ZoL doesnt use it.
There's also a PR up for optmizing the SHA256 routines with ASM for x86-64, may be an entry point to doing the same for crypto.

[lundman]

The SPL code for SHA uses Linux crypto, so should already be assembler, and AESNI support. ZOL doesn't use the Linux crypto API, which is probably why they are looking at improving it. Be interesting to change ZOL to use the SPL call instead and see how it compares :)

Let's ask rogue to do another merge soon and see how bad it is. 0.6.3 can't be far off now?

merge finished again, plz test.
