Support for security operations is planned to be added in ethdev and cryptodev for the 17.11 release.
For this following changes are required. - rte_cryptodev and rte_eth_dev structures need to be added new parameter rte_security_ops which extend support for security ops to the corresponding driver. - rte_cryptodev_info and rte_eth_dev_info need to be added with rte_security_capabilities to identify the capabilities of the corresponding driver. - rte_security_session needs to be added in the union inside structure rte_crypto_sym_op to decide between various types of sessions Signed-off-by: Akhil Goyal <akhil.go...@nxp.com> Acked-by: Hemant Agrawal <hemant.agra...@nxp.com> Acked-by: Boris Pismenny <bor...@mellanox.com> Acked-by: Shahaf Shuler <shah...@mellanox.com> Acked-by: Pablo de Lara <pablo.de.lara.gua...@intel.com> --- changes in v2: Added one more ABI change wrt to security session, This patch is not split into 3 patches as these all will be implemented simultaneously with rte_security support. doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) diff --git a/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst b/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst index 72d1f35..e34a809 100644 --- a/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst +++ b/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst @@ -78,3 +78,18 @@ Deprecation Notices be removed in 17.11: - ``rte_cryptodev_create_vdev`` + +* cryptodev: new parameters - ``rte_security_capabilities`` and + ``rte_security_ops`` will be added to ``rte_cryptodev_info`` and + ``rte_cryptodev`` respectively to support security protocol offloaded + operations. + +* cryptodev: new parameter ``rte_security_session`` will be added in the union + of the structure ``rte_crypto_sym_op``, so that the user can choose either to + use ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session`` or ``rte_crypto_sym_xform`` or + ``rte_security_session``. + +* ethdev: new parameters - ``rte_security_capabilities`` and + ``rte_security_ops`` will be added to ``rte_eth_dev_info`` and + ``rte_eth_dev`` respectively to support security operations like + ipsec inline. -- 2.9.3
