With the latest mm-unstable, setting the iaa_crypto sync_mode to 'async'
causes crypto testmgr.c test_acomp() failure and dmesg call traces, and
zswap being unable to use 'deflate-iaa' as a compressor:

This happens because the only async polling without interrupts that
iaa_crypto currently implements is with the 'sync' mode. With 'async',
iaa_crypto calls to compress/decompress submit the descriptor and return
-EINPROGRESS, without any mechanism in the driver to poll for
completions. Hence callers such as test_acomp() in crypto/testmgr.c or
zswap, that wrap the calls to crypto_acomp_compress() and
crypto_acomp_decompress() in synchronous wrappers, will block
indefinitely. Even before zswap can notice this problem, the crypto
testmgr.c's test_acomp() will fail and prevent registration of
"deflate-iaa" as a valid crypto acomp algorithm, thereby disallowing the
use of "deflate-iaa" as a zswap compress (zswap will fall-back to the
default compressor in this case).
To fix this issue, this patch modifies the iaa_crypto sync_mode set
function to treat 'async' equivalent to 'sync', so that the correct and
only supported driver async polling without interrupts implementation is
enabled, and zswap can use 'deflate-iaa' as the compressor.
Hence, with this patch, this is what will happen:
echo async > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode
cat /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode
sync
There are no crypto/testmgr.c test_acomp() errors, no call traces and zswap
can use 'deflate-iaa' without any errors. The iaa_crypto documentation has
also been updated to mention this caveat with 'async' and what to expect
with this fix.
True iaa_crypto async polling without interrupts is enabled in patch
"crypto: iaa - Implement batch_compress(), batch_decompress() API in
iaa_crypto." [1] which is under review as part of the "zswap IAA compress
batching" patch-series [2]. Until this is merged, we would appreciate it if
this current patch can be considered for a hotfix.

These knobs offer more fine-grained control to userspace than needed and
directly expose/influence kernel implementation; remove them.
For disabling same_filled handling, there is no logical reason to refuse
storing same-filled pages more efficiently and opt for compression.
Scanning pages for patterns may be an argument, but the page contents will
be read into the CPU cache anyway during compression. Also, removing the
same_filled handling code does not move the needle significantly in terms
of performance anyway [1].
For disabling non_same_filled handling, it was added when the compressed
pages in zswap were not being properly charged to memcgs, as workloads
could escape the accounting with compression [2]. This is no longer the
case after commit f4840ccfca25 ("zswap: memcg accounting"), and using
zswap without compression does not make much sense.

This cleans up the following issues I ran into when trying to use the
scripts and commands in the iaa-crypto.rst document.
- Fix incorrect arguments being passed to accel-config
config-wq.
- Replace --device_name with --driver-name.
- Replace --driver_name with --driver-name.
- Replace --size with --wq-size.
- Add missing --priority argument.
- Add missing accel-config config-engine command after the
config-wq commands.
- Fix wq name passed to accel-config config-wq.
- Add rmmod/modprobe of iaa_crypto to script that disables,
then enables all devices and workqueues to avoid enable-wq
failing with -EEXIST when trying to register to compression
algorithm.
- Fix device name in cases where iaa was used instead of iax.

Currently, the wq_stats output also includes the global stats, while
the individual global stats are also available as separate debugfs
files. Since these are all read-only, there's really no reason to
have them as separate files, especially since we already display them
as global stats in the wq_stats. It makes more sense to just add a
separate global_stats file to display those, and remove them from the
wq_stats, as well as removing the individual stats files.
