+config CRYPTO_DEV_QCE_SW_MAX_LEN
+ int "Default maximum request size to use software for AES"
+ depends on CRYPTO_DEV_QCE && CRYPTO_DEV_QCE_SKCIPHER
+ default 512
+ help
+ This sets the default maximum request size to perform AES requests
+ using software instead of the crypto engine. It can be changed by
+ setting the aes_sw_max_len parameter.
+
+ Small blocks are processed faster in software than hardware.
+ Considering the 256-bit ciphers, software is 2-3 times faster than
+ qce at 256-bytes, 30% faster at 512, and about even at 768-bytes.
+ With 128-bit keys, the break-even point would be around 1024-bytes.
+
+ The default is set a little lower, to 512 bytes, to balance the
+ cost in CPU usage. The minimum recommended setting is 16-bytes
+ (1 AES block), since AES-GCM will fail if you set it lower.
+ Setting this to zero will send all requests to the hardware.
+
+ Note that 192-bit keys are not supported by the hardware and are
+ always processed by the software fallback, and all DES requests
+ are done by the hardware.
