Description jsbillings 2023-07-31 14:11:53 UTC

Do not enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS kernel config


According to the Kconfig documentation for this option:

config CRYPTO_STATS
	bool "Crypto usage statistics"
	depends on CRYPTO_USER
	help
	  Enable the gathering of crypto stats.

	  Enabling this option reduces the performance of the crypto API.  It
	  should only be enabled when there is actually a use case for it.

See:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/crypto/Kconfig#n1398

Also saw on the Ceph-users list that they've seen some performance hit with it enabled:

Reproducible: Always
