Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/1] Add DM_CRYPT_FORCE_INLINE flag to dm-crypt target
Sometimes extra thread offloading imposed by dm-crypt hurts IO latency. This is
especially visible on busy systems with many processes/threads. Moreover, most
Crypto API implementaions are async, that is they offload crypto operations on
their own, so this dm-crypt offloading is excessive.
This adds a new flag, which directs dm-crypt not to offload crypto operations
and process everything inline. For cases, where crypto operations cannot happen
inline (hard interrupt context, for example the read path of the NVME driver),
we offload the work to a tasklet rather than a workqueue.
