            Bug ID: 216467
           Summary: [request] Hardware (SSE 4.2) CRC32C support in
                    calculate_crc32c()
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ben.rubson@gmail.com

Hello,

Could it be possible to implement an optimized version of calculate_crc32c()
with hardware CRC32C support please ?
SSE 4.2 has this feature, which is really interesting.

Here are some benchmarks with this :
https://github.com/laanwj/crcbench

On an Intel E5-2620v3 :

# ./crcbench=20
CRC32C benchmarks
[sw] 65543000 bytes in 69730us monotonic 69726us CPU (940.0MB/s)
[hw-sse42] 65543000 bytes in 12619us monotonic 12618us CPU (5194.4MB/s)

On more data (10GB) :

# ./crcbench=20
CRC32C benchmarks
[sw] 10485767000 bytes in 11179263us monotonic 11178667us CPU (938.0MB/s)
[hw-sse42] 10485767000 bytes in 2028412us monotonic 2028305us CPU (5169.7MB=
/s)

Sounds really interesting and promising.

Main goal behind this request is to improve iSCSI throughput when HeaderDig=
est
and DataDigest are enabled.
Enabling these options made my iSCSI throughput drop from 300MB/s to 200MB/=
s.
Hardware CRC32C should then help minimising this difference.

Thank you very much !

Ben
