In real world use cases, we will be attaching destination event queue
information
to the session, not to the queue pair.
IMO, RTE_EVENT_CRYPTO_ENQ_MBUF_MULTI_EVENTQ scheme may not very
convenient for application writers as
# it relies on mbuf private area memory. So it has additional memory alloc/free
requirements.
# additional overhead for application/PMD to write/read the event queue metadata
information per packet.
Since we already have meta data structure in the crypto
area, How about adding the destination event queue attributes
in the PMD crypto session area and for, _session less_, we can add it
in rte_crypto_op stricture? This will help in:
# Offloading HW specific meta data generation for event queue attributes
to slow path.
# From the application perspective, most likely the event queue parameters
will be different for each session not per packet nor per event queue
pair.
Hey Jerin,
given my limited experience with eventdev, your proposed approach in
general makes sense to me, in that a packet flow having crypto
processing done will always be forwarded the same next stage event
queue. So storing this state in the crypto session, or crypto op in the
case of sessionless ops, seems sensible.
Something like below to share my view. Exact details may be we can work it out.
I terms of your proposed changes below, my main concern would be
introducing dependencies on the eventdev library into cryptodev, as with
this new crypto adpater you will have a dependency on cryptodev in
eventdev.
I think the best approach would be to support opaque metadata in both
the crypto op and crypto session structures, as this would allow other
uses cases to be supported which aren't specific to eventdev to also
store metadata across cryptodev processing.

How about leveraging ev.op based schematics as mentioned above?
