This patch updates the dependency requirement information for aesni-gcm, aesni-mb, snow3g, zuc, and kasumi PMDs. Previously building these PMDs with Make will fail when the system is installed intel-ipsec-mb library version 1.0 or newer. Since Make build system is deprecated already, instead of fixing the issue the documentation is updated to state it. Signed-off-by: Fan Zhang <roy.fan.zhang@intel.com>

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 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:

|
============= ================================
|
|
DPDK version Crypto library version
|
|
============= ================================
|
|
16.04 - 19.11 LibSSO SNOW3G
|
|
20.02+ Multi-buffer library 0.53 - 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_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"
