The coremask option in DPDK is difficult to use and we should be promoting the use of the corelist (-l) option. The patch adjusts the docs to use -l EAL option instead of the -c option. The patch only changes the docs and not the code as the -c option will continue to exist unless it is removed in the future. The -c option should be kept to maintain backward compatibility.

AES-NI GCM Crypto Poll Mode Driver
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
The AES-NI GCM PMD (**librte_pmd_aesni_gcm**) provides poll mode crypto driver
|
|
support for utilizing Intel ISA-L crypto library, which provides operation acceleration
|
|
through the AES-NI instruction sets for AES-GCM authenticated cipher algorithm.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
AESNI GCM PMD has support for:
|
|
|
|
Cipher algorithms:
|
|
|
|
* RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_GCM
|
|
|
|
Authentication algorithms:
|
|
|
|
* RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_AES_GCM
|
|
* RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_AES_GMAC
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
To build DPDK with the AESNI_GCM_PMD the user is required to install
|
|
the ``libisal_crypto`` library in the build environment.
|
|
For download and more details please visit `<https://github.com/01org/isa-l_crypto>`_.
|
|
|
|
Initialization
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
|
|
|
|
* Install the ISA-L crypto library (explained in Installation section).
|
|
|
|
* Set CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_AESNI_GCM=y in config/common_base.
|
|
|
|
To use the PMD in an application, user must:
|
|
|
|
* Call rte_eal_vdev_init("crypto_aesni_gcm") within the application.
|
|
|
|
* Use --vdev="crypto_aesni_gcm" in the EAL options, which will call rte_eal_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
|
|
|
|
./l2fwd-crypto -l 6 -n 4 --vdev="crypto_aesni_gcm,socket_id=1,max_nb_sessions=128"
|
|
|
|
Limitations
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* Chained mbufs are supported but only out-of-place (destination mbuf must be contiguous).
|
|
* Hash only is not supported.
|
|
* Cipher only is not supported.
