Yes, for these tests, we can just define a macro in the tests, instead of using the info structure. > > Another point, we recently submitted an RFC patch on lib/cryptodev with > asymmetric crypto support > (https://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/34308/) which is awaiting review > and these fields have role to play there. > So, could this change be please viewed in conjunction with asym RFC? Do you need it for asymmetric? Anyway, this would remove the symmetric function and structures, not applicable for you. > > Thanks > Shally > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: dev [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Akhil Goyal > > Sent: 29 January 2018 14:57 > > To: De Lara Guarch, Pablo <[email protected]>; Trahe, > > Fiona <[email protected]>; [email protected]; Doherty, > Declan > > <[email protected]>; Griffin, John <[email protected]>; > > Jain, Deepak K <[email protected]>; [email protected]; > > [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; > > [email protected]; Jacob, Jerin > <[email protected]> > > Cc: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: announce ABI change for crypto > > info struct > > > > Hi Pablo/Fiona, > > > > On 1/26/2018 4:38 PM, De Lara Guarch, Pablo wrote: > > > > > > > > >> -----Original Message----- > > >> From: Trahe, Fiona > > >> Sent: Friday, January 26, 2018 10:45 AM > > >> To: De Lara Guarch, Pablo <[email protected]>; > > >> [email protected]; [email protected]; Doherty, Declan > > >> <[email protected]>; [email protected]; Griffin, John > > >> <[email protected]>; Jain, Deepak K <[email protected]>; > > >> [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; > > >> [email protected]; [email protected] > > >> Cc: [email protected]; Trahe, Fiona <[email protected]> > > >> Subject: RE: [PATCH] doc: announce ABI change for crypto info > > >> struct > > >> > > >> Hi Pablo, > > >> > > >>> -----Original Message----- > > >>> From: De Lara Guarch, Pablo > > >>> Sent: Friday, January 26, 2018 9:04 AM > > >>> To: [email protected]; [email protected]; Doherty, > Declan > > >>> <[email protected]>; [email protected]; Trahe, Fiona > > >>> <[email protected]>; Griffin, John <[email protected]>; > > >>> Jain, Deepak K <[email protected]>; [email protected]; > > >>> [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; > > >>> [email protected] > > >>> Cc: [email protected]; De Lara Guarch, Pablo > > >>> <[email protected]> > > >>> Subject: [PATCH] doc: announce ABI change for crypto info struct > > >>> > > >>> Since the API changes made in 17.08, the session mempool is not > > >>> created anymore in each crypto device. > > >>> Therefore, there is no need to have, in the cryptodev info > > >>> structure, the maximum number of sessions supported per device > and > > >>> per queue pair. > > >>> > > >>> Signed-off-by: Pablo de Lara <[email protected]> > > >>> --- > > >>> doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst | 5 +++++ > > >>> 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) > > >>> > > >>> diff --git a/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst > > >>> b/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst > > >>> index d59ad5988..5588ba7c1 100644 > > >>> --- a/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst > > >>> +++ b/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst > > >>> @@ -59,3 +59,8 @@ Deprecation Notices > > >>> be added between the producer and consumer structures.
