Hi txgbe/ixgbe maintainers, I see that MACsec is supported by ixgbe and txgbe PMDs. Could you please review this patch?
Regards, Akhil > Subject: [PATCH 2/3] security: support MACsec > > Added support for MACsec in rte_security for offloading > MACsec Protocol operation to inline NIC device or a crypto device. > > To support MACsec we cannot just make one security session and > send with the packet to process it. MACsec specifications suggest, > it has 3 different entities - SECY Entity, SC(secure channel) and > SA(security association). And same SA can be used by multiple SCs and > similarly many SECY can have same SCs. Hence, in order to support this > many to one relationships between all entities, 2 new APIs are created - > rte_security_macsec_sc_create and rte_security_macsec_sa_create. > Flow of execution of the APIs would be as > - rte_security_macsec_sa_create > - rte_security_macsec_sc_create > - rte_security_session_create(for secy) > And in case of inline protocol processing rte_flow can be created with > rte_security action. A new flow item will be added for MACsec header. > New APIs are also created for getting SC and SA stats. > > Signed-off-by: Akhil Goyal <gak...@marvell.com> > ---
