Good point. Since this structure is internal, I guess we don't need a deprecation notice for it, but I will remove it in the patch for 18.05. > Regards deprecation of max_nb_sessions from both structs: > Acked-by: Fiona Trahe <fiona.tr...@intel.com> > > If removing the max_nb_sessions_per_qp, then the following functions > should also be deprecated. > rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session > rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_detach_sym_session > These and the max_nb_session_per_qp were added here at request of NXP: > http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-March/060740.html Akhil, do you agree on this change?
