* Use slice-by-8, which is the fastest variant.
*
* Calculate checksum 8 bytes at a time with a clever slicing algorithm.
* This is the fastest algorithm, but comes with a 8KiB lookup table.
* Most modern processors have enough cache to hold this table without
* thrashing the cache.
*
* The Linux kernel uses this as the default implementation "unless you
* have a good reason not to". The reason why Kconfig urges you to pick
* SLICEBY8 is because people challenged the assertion that we should
* always use slice by 8, so Darrick wrote a crc microbenchmark utility
* and ran it on as many machines as he could get his hands on to show
* that sb8 was the fastest.
*
* Every 64-bit machine (and most of the 32-bit ones too) saw the best
* results with sb8. Any machine with more than 4K of cache saw better
* results. The spreadsheet still exists today[1]; note that
* 'crc32-kern-le' corresponds to the slice by 4 algorithm which is the
* default unless CRC_LE_BITS is defined explicitly.
*
* FWIW, there are a handful of board defconfigs in the kernel that
* don't pick sliceby8. These are all embedded 32-bit mips/ppc systems
* with very small cache sizes which experience cache thrashing with the
* slice by 8 algorithm, and therefore chose to pick defaults that are
* saner for their particular board configuration. For nearly all of
* XFS' perceived userbase (which we assume are 32 and 64-bit machines
* with sufficiently large CPU cache and largeish storage devices) slice
* by 8 is the right choice.
