mmtests/stressng-af-alg

stress-ng AF_ALG stressor measuring kernel crypto API socket throughput.

Benchmark Profile

  • Type: Micro

  • Kernel subsystem: Crypto API, sockets, memory copy

  • Coverage: Directly measured

  • Topology: Single role: executer

Overview

Runs the stress-ng af-alg stressor through mmtests to exercise the kernel AF_ALG interface used for cryptographic operations through sockets. Sensitive to crypto API, socket, and memory-copy path changes.
