raid6: add missing vzeroupper to AVX-512 code

2026-09-11T03:22:09+00:00

Since the AVX-512 optimized RAID6 code uses ZMM registers, execute vzeroupper before returning from it. This is needed to avoid degrading the performance of any later SSE code that may happen to be executed.

raid6: add missing vzeroupper to AVX2 code

2026-09-11T03:22:09+00:00

Since the AVX2 optimized RAID6 code uses YMM registers, execute vzeroupper before returning from it. This is needed to avoid degrading the performance of any later SSE code that may happen to be executed.

raid6: update top of file comments

2026-05-29T04:24:55+00:00

Drop the pointless mention of the file name, and use standard formatting for the top of file comments.

raid6: rework registration of optimized algorithms

2026-05-29T04:24:54+00:00

Replace the static array of algorithms with a call to an architecture helper to register algorithms. This serves two purposes: it avoid having to register all algorithms in a single central place, and it removes the need for the priority field by just registering the algorithms that the architecture considers suitable for the currently running CPUs.

raid6: hide internals

2026-05-29T04:24:54+00:00

Split out two new headers from the public pq.h: - lib/raid/raid6/algos.h contains the algorithm lists private to lib/raid/raid6 - include/linux/raid/pq_tables.h contains the tables also used by async_tx providers. The public include/linux/pq.h is now limited to the public interface for the consumers of the RAID6 PQ API.

raid6: improve the public interface

2026-05-29T04:24:54+00:00

Stop directly calling into function pointers from users of the RAID6 PQ API, and provide exported functions with proper documentation and API guarantees asserts where applicable instead.

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.
