Chacha20-poly1305 Crypto Poll Mode Driver
=========================================
The Chacha20-poly1305 PMD provides poll mode crypto driver support for
utilizing `Intel IPSec Multi-buffer library <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_.
Features
--------
Chacha20-poly1305 PMD has support for:
AEAD algorithms:
* RTE_CRYPTO_AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305
Installation
------------
To build DPDK with the Chacha20-poly1305 PMD the user is required to download
the multi-buffer library from `here <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_
and compile it on their user system before building DPDK.
The latest version of the library supported by this PMD is v1.0, which
can be downloaded from `<https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb/archive/v1.0.zip>`_.
After downloading the library, the user needs to unpack and compile it
on their system before building DPDK:
.. code-block:: console
make
make install
The library requires NASM to be built. Depending on the library version, it might
require a minimum NASM version (e.g. v0.54 requires at least NASM 2.14).
NASM is packaged for different OS. However, on some OS the version is too old,
so a manual installation is required. In that case, NASM can be downloaded from
`NASM website <https://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/?C=M;O=D>`_.
Once it is downloaded, extract it and follow these steps:
.. code-block:: console
./configure
make
make install
.. note::
Compilation of the Multi-Buffer library is broken when GCC < 5.0, if library <= v0.53.
If a lower GCC version than 5.0, the workaround proposed by the following link
should be used: `<https://github.com/intel/intel-ipsec-mb/issues/40>`_.
As a reference, the following table shows a mapping between the past DPDK versions
and the external crypto libraries supported by them:
.. _table_chacha20_poly1305_versions:
.. table:: DPDK and external crypto library version compatibility
============= ================================
DPDK version Crypto library version
============= ================================
21.11+ Multi-buffer library 1.0*
============= ================================
\* Multi-buffer library 1.0 or newer only works for Meson but not Make build system.
Initialization
--------------
In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
* Build the multi buffer library (explained in Installation section).
To use the PMD in an application, user must:
* Call rte_vdev_init("crypto_chacha20_poly1305") within the application.
* Use --vdev="crypto_chacha20_poly1305" in the EAL options, which will call
rte_vdev_init() internally.
The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
* socket_id: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated
(by default, socket_id will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on).
* max_nb_queue_pairs: Specify the maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default).
* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
Example:
.. code-block:: console
--vdev="crypto_chacha20_poly1305,socket_id=0,max_nb_sessions=128"
