Linux 6.10 AES-XTS For Disk/File Encryption As Much As ~155% Faster For AMD Zen 4 CPUs
For those making use of AES-XTS crypto for the likes of disk and file encryption on x86_64 CPUs, the upcoming Linux 6.10 kernel cycle is bringing some very tantalizing improvements especially if you are running recent AMD and Intel processors
For those making use of AES-XTS crypto for the likes of disk and file encryption on x86_64 CPUs, the upcoming Linux 6.10 kernel cycle is bringing some very tantalizing improvements especially if you are running recent AMD and Intel processors. With these patches now slated for introduction in the Linux 6.10 kernel, they will be automatically used with the best AES-XTS implementation being chosen based on the CPU model in use. These new x86_64 AES-XTS implementations were queued this past week into the cryptodev Git branch making it material for the upcoming Linux 6.10 kernel merge window that kicks off in mid-May.
