I spend some time going through the driver.
#The ideal architecture of this driver would have been to introduce a bus
driver(see drivers/bus/ifpga/) which does all the PCI
probes(drivers/crypto/ccp/rte_ccp_pmd.c and
drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp_pci.c)
and arrange the devices on the bus scan and enable "non bus" specific driver
crypto driver. So that no pci probe etc in crypto driver.
# On the upside, You DONT need to give vdev= on eal arguments, on AMD machines
it can probe the crypto devices automatically and probe the crypto driver # I
dont think, it is specific to vdev IOMMU support, If would have been PCI/Any
bus driver, you would have similar changes. Right?
# Major portion of this patch does following
+ if (iommu_mode == 2)
+ pst.src_addr = (phys_addr_t)rte_mem_virt2iova(
+ (void *) lsb_buf);
+ else
+ pst.src_addr = (phys_addr_t)rte_mem_virt2phy(
+ (void *) lsb_buf);
+
Since the following check already present common code, Do we need the above
check, just calling rte_mem_virt2iova() is enough. Right?
rte_iova_t
rte_mem_virt2iova(const void *virtaddr)
{
if (rte_eal_iova_mode() == RTE_IOVA_VA)
return (uintptr_t)virtaddr;
return rte_mem_virt2phy(virtaddr); }
