Introduce crypto poll mode driver using ARMv8
cryptographic extensions. This PMD is optimized
to provide performance boost for chained
crypto operations processing, such as:
* encryption + HMAC generation
* decryption + HMAC validation.
In particular, cipher only or hash only
operations are not provided.
Performance gain can be observed in tests
against OpenSSL PMD which also uses ARM
crypto extensions for packets processing.
Hi,
great to see more crypto drivers coming into DPDK, thanks.
Question: do you know if this code would have any export compliance
implications for DPDK - or for those repackaging DPDK? Up till now, all
the crypto code used by DPDK was actually packaged in separate libraries
that were re-used, meaning that DPDK didn't contain any crypto
algorithms itself.
Hello Bruce,
I don't know to be honest. I didn't know the reasoning behind not
including crypto code for Intel for example. I thought it was due to
licensing and code control rather than export compliance.
Maybe someone from the DPDK community will know what are the constraints
related to including crypto algorithms to DPDK.
Kind regards
Zbigniew
