[ Upstream commit 4ebd9a5ca478673cfbb38795cc5b3adb4f35fe04 ]
With the latest mm-unstable, setting the iaa_crypto sync_mode to 'async' causes crypto testmgr.c test_acomp() failure and dmesg call traces, and zswap being unable to use 'deflate-iaa' as a compressor:
echo async > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode

This happens because the only async polling without interrupts that iaa_crypto currently implements is with the 'sync' mode. With 'async', iaa_crypto calls to compress/decompress submit the descriptor and return -EINPROGRESS, without any mechanism in the driver to poll for completions. Hence callers such as test_acomp() in crypto/testmgr.c or zswap, that wrap the calls to crypto_acomp_compress() and crypto_acomp_decompress() in synchronous wrappers, will block indefinitely. Even before zswap can notice this problem, the crypto testmgr.c's test_acomp() will fail and prevent registration of "deflate-iaa" as a valid crypto acomp algorithm, thereby disallowing the use of "deflate-iaa" as a zswap compress (zswap will fall-back to the default compressor in this case).
To fix this issue, this patch modifies the iaa_crypto sync_mode set function to treat 'async' equivalent to 'sync', so that the correct and only supported driver async polling without interrupts implementation is enabled, and zswap can use 'deflate-iaa' as the compressor.
Hence, with this patch, this is what will happen:
echo async > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode cat /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode sync
There are no crypto/testmgr.c test_acomp() errors, no call traces and zswap can use 'deflate-iaa' without any errors. The iaa_crypto documentation has also been updated to mention this caveat with 'async' and what to expect with this fix.
True iaa_crypto async polling without interrupts is enabled in patch "crypto: iaa - Implement batch_compress(), batch_decompress() API in iaa_crypto." [1] which is under review as part of the "zswap IAA compress batching" patch-series [2]. Until this is merged, we would appreciate it if this current patch can be considered for a hotfix.
