Also with this part:
  /* Internal representation of a data virtqueue */
@@ -65,11 +66,6 @@ struct virtio_crypto {
  	/* Maximum size of per request */
  	u64 max_size;

-	/* Control VQ buffers: protected by the ctrl_lock */
-	struct virtio_crypto_op_ctrl_req ctrl;
-	struct virtio_crypto_session_input input;

Orignally virtio crypto driver allocates ctrl&input&ctrl_status 
per-device, and protects this with ctrl_lock. This is the reason why the 
control queue reaches the bottleneck of performance. I'll append this in 
the next version in commit message.

Instead of the single request buffer, declare struct 
virtio_crypto_ctrl_request {
         struct virtio_crypto_op_ctrl_req ctrl;
         struct virtio_crypto_session_input input;
         struct virtio_crypto_inhdr ctrl_status;
	... }

The motivation of this change is to allocate buffer from the same node 
with device during control queue operations.

Because there are padding field in 
virtio_crypto_op_ctrl_req&virtio_crypto_session_input, I suppose the 
original version also needs to clear padding field.
So I use kzalloc to make sure that the padding field gets cleared.
If this is reasonable, to separate this patch is OK to me, or I append 
this reason into commit message and comments in code.

I'm a little confused here, if virtqueue_get_buf return NULL, this loop 
will break. Could you please give me more hints?

OK, kfree is good enough here, I'll fix this.


Thanks a lot!
