Detailed Description

Symmetric Cryptographic Operation.

This structure contains data relating to performing symmetric cryptographic processing on a referenced mbuf data buffer.

When a symmetric crypto operation is enqueued with the device for processing it must have a valid rte_mbuf structure attached, via m_src parameter, which contains the source data which the crypto operation is to be performed on. While the mbuf is in use by a crypto operation no part of the mbuf should be changed by the application as the device may read or write to any part of the mbuf. In the case of hardware crypto devices some or all of the mbuf may be DMAed in and out of the device, so writing over the original data, though only the part specified by the rte_crypto_sym_op for transformation will be changed. Out-of-place (OOP) operation, where the source mbuf is different to the destination mbuf, is a special case. Data will be copied from m_src to m_dst. The part copied includes all the parts of the source mbuf that will be operated on, based on the cipher.data.offset+cipher.data.length and auth.data.offset+auth.data.length values in the rte_crypto_sym_op. The part indicated by the cipher parameters will be transformed, any extra data around this indicated by the auth parameters will be copied unchanged from source to destination mbuf. Also in OOP operation the cipher.data.offset and auth.data.offset apply to both source and destination mbufs. As these offsets are relative to the data_off parameter in each mbuf this can result in the data written to the destination buffer being at a different alignment, relative to buffer start, to the data in the source buffer.
