[CRYPTO] hifn: Schedule callback invocation to tasklet.
This patch forces HIFN driver to invoke crypto request callbacks from tasklet (softirq context) instead of hardirq context, since network stack expects it to be called from bottom halves. It is done by simply scheduling callback invocation via dedicated tasklet. Workqueue solution was dropped because of tooo slow rescheduling performance (7 times slower than tasklet, for mode details one can check this link: http://tservice.net.ru/~s0mbre/blog/devel/other/2007_11_09.html). Driver passed all AES and DES tests in tcryt.c module. Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Polyakov <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <[email protected]>
