> Subject: [dpdk-dev v13 0/4] cryptodev: add raw data-path APIs > > The Crypto Raw data-path APIs are a set of APIs designed to enable external > libraries/applications to leverage the cryptographic processing provided by > DPDK crypto PMDs through the cryptodev API but in a manner that is not > dependent on native DPDK data structures (eg. rte_mbuf, rte_crypto_op, ... > etc) > in their data-path implementation. > > The raw data-path APIs have the following advantages: > - External data structure friendly design. The new APIs uses the operation > descriptor ``struct rte_crypto_sym_vec`` that supports raw data pointer and > IOVA addresses as input. Moreover, the APIs does not require the user to > allocate the descriptor from mempool, nor requiring mbufs to describe input > data's virtual and IOVA addresses. All these features made the translation > from user's own data structure into the descriptor easier and more > efficient. > - Flexible enqueue and dequeue operation. The raw data-path APIs gives the > user more control to the enqueue and dequeue operations, including the > capability of precious enqueue/dequeue count, abandoning enqueue or > dequeue > at any time, and operation status translation and set on the fly. > > v13: > - Fixed a typo. > > v12: > - Fixed and updated documentation. > - Fixed typo. > > v11: > - Rebased on top of latest master. > - API changed followed by the discussion results. > - Fixed a few grammar error thanks to Akhil. > - Reverted attach session API changes. > - Fixed QAT driver bugs. > > v10: > - Changed rte_crypto_sym_vec structure to support both sync cpu_crypto and > async raw data-path API. > - Changed documentation. > - Changed API names. > - Changed the way data-path context is initialized. > - Added new API to attach session or xform to existing context. > - Changed QAT PMD accordingly with new APIs. > - Changed unit test to use the device feature flag for the raw API tests. > > v9: > - Changed return types of submit_done() and dequeue_done() APIs. > - Added release note update. > > v8: > - Updated following by comments. > - Fixed a few bugs. > - Fixed ARM build error. > - Updated the unit test covering all tests. > > v7: > - Fixed a few typos. > - Fixed length calculation bugs. > > v6: > - Rebased on top of DPDK 20.08. > - Changed to service ctx and added single job submit/dequeue. > > v5: > - Changed to use rte_crypto_sym_vec as input. > - Changed to use public APIs instead of use function pointer. > > v4: > - Added missed patch. > > v3: > - Instead of QAT only API, moved the API to cryptodev. > - Added cryptodev feature flags. > > v2: > - Used a structure to simplify parameters. > - Added unit tests. > - Added documentation.
Added Konstantin's ACK on 1/4 patch. Fixed a couple of compilation issues in documentation. Fixed a couple of typos in comments and patch description. Acked-by: Akhil Goyal <akhil.go...@nxp.com> Applied to dpdk-next-crypto Thanks.
