Since the built driver filenames have changed in DPDK 20.11, we need to
update the driver doc to match.
Most drivers start their section with the driver filename highlighted in
bold, while a number were missing the highlight. When updating the names,
add the markers for bold text to any missing it, so as to have things more
consistent.

SNOW 3G Crypto Poll Mode Driver
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
The SNOW3G PMD (**librte_crypto_snow3g**) provides poll mode crypto driver support for
|
|
utilizing `Intel IPSec Multi-buffer library <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_
|
|
which implements F8 and F8 functions for SNOW 3G UEA2 cipher and UIA2 hash algorithms.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
SNOW 3G PMD has support for:
|
|
|
|
Cipher algorithm:
|
|
|
|
* RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_SNOW3G_UEA2
|
|
|
|
Authentication algorithm:
|
|
|
|
* RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SNOW3G_UIA2
|
|
|
|
Limitations
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* Chained mbufs are not supported.
|
|
* SNOW 3G (UIA2) supported only if hash offset field is byte-aligned.
|
|
* In-place bit-level operations for SNOW 3G (UEA2) are not supported
|
|
(if length and/or offset of data to be ciphered is not byte-aligned).
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
To build DPDK with the SNOW3G_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 v0.54, which
|
|
can be downloaded from `<https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb/archive/v0.54.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:

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_snow3g") within the application.
|
|
|
|
* Use --vdev="crypto_snow3g" 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
|
|
|
|
./dpdk-l2fwd-crypto -l 1 -n 4 --vdev="crypto_snow3g,socket_id=0,max_nb_sessions=128" \
|
|
-- -p 1 --cdev SW --chain CIPHER_ONLY --cipher_algo "snow3g-uea2"
