Hi Darren,
Thank you for the update.
Have you got any ETA (build number) for the crypto project?
Also, is there any word on if this will support the hardware crypto stuff
That has always been the plan and it comes completely for free given it
uses the Crypto Framework APIs. I already have acceleration on the
UltraSPARC T2 processors without have a single special line of code.
in the VIA CPUs natively? That would be nice. :)
There isn't yet a driver/code for the VIA CPUs integrated into the
crypto framework. A prototype was started by someone outside of Sun but
it hasn't yet integrated:
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crypto/inprogress/padlock/
The prototype code is here:
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/crypto/padlock/
However that has nothing to do with the ZFS Crypto project directly but
it will benefit if it is implemented. If you can and wish to help out
please contact crypto-disc...@opensolaris.org
