This patch provides the initial implementation of the AES-NI multi-buffer based crypto poll mode driver using DPDK's new cryptodev framework. This PMD is dependent on Intel's multibuffer library, see the whitepaper "Fast Multi-buffer IPsec Implementations on Intel® Architecture Processors", see ref 1 for details on the library's design and ref 2 to download the library itself. This initial implementation is limited to supporting the chained operations of "hash then cipher" or "cipher then hash" for the following cipher and hash algorithms: Cipher algorithms: - RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_CBC (with 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit keys supported) Authentication algorithms: - RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA1_HMAC - RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA256_HMAC - RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA512_HMAC - RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_AES_XCBC_MAC Important Note: Due to the fact that the multi-buffer library is designed for accelerating IPsec crypto operation, the digest's generated for the HMAC functions are truncated to lengths specified by IPsec RFC's, ie RFC2404 for using HMAC-SHA-1 with IPsec specifies that the digest is truncate from 20 to 12 bytes. Build instructions: To build DPDK with the AESNI_MB_PMD the user is required to download (ref 2) and compile the multi-buffer library on there system before building DPDK. The environmental variable AESNI_MULTI_BUFFER_LIB_PATH must be exported with the path where you extracted and built the multi buffer library and finally set CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_AESNI_MB=y in config/common_linuxapp. Current status: It's doesn't support crypto operation across chained mbufs, or cipher only or hash only operations. ref 1: https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/intel-technology/fast-multi-buffer-ipsec-implementations-ia-processors-p ref 2: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22972 Signed-off-by: Declan Doherty <declan.doherty@intel.com> Acked-by: Sergio Gonzalez Monroy <sergio.gonzalez.monroy@intel.com> |
