raid6: move to lib/raid/

2026-05-29T04:24:53+00:00

Move the raid6 code to live in lib/raid/ with the XOR code, and change the internal organization so that each architecture has a subdirectory similar to the CRC, crypto and XOR libraries, and fix up the Makefile to only build files actually needed. Also move the kunit test case from the history test/ subdirectory to tests/ and use the normal naming scheme for it.

raid6: remove KERNEL ifdefs

2026-05-29T04:24:52+00:00

With the test code ported to kernel space, none of this is required.

raid6: skip avx512 checks

2025-04-30T19:53:48+00:00

It is no longer necessary to check for CONFIG_AS_AVX512, since the minimum assembler version is now from binutils-2.30 and this always supports it. Acked-by: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

lib/raid6: Use strict priority ranking for pq gen() benchmarking

2022-01-06T16:37:03+00:00

On x86_64, currently 3 variants of AVX512, 3 variants of AVX2 and 3 variants of SSE2 are benchmarked on initialization, taking between 144-153 jiffies. Testing across a hardware pool of various generations of intel cpus I could not find a single case where SSE2 won over AVX2 or AVX512. There are cases where AVX2 wins over AVX512 however. Change "prefer" into an integer priority field (similar to how recov selection works) to have more than one ranking level available, which is backwards compatible with existing behavior. Give AVX2/512 variants higher priority over SSE2 in order to skip SSE testing when AVX is available. in a AVX2/x86_64/HZ=250 case this saves in the order of 200ms of initialization time.
