MRVL Crypto Poll Mode Driver
============================

The MRVL CRYPTO PMD (**librte_crypto_mrvl_pmd**) provides poll mode crypto driver
support by utilizing MUSDK library, which provides cryptographic operations
acceleration by using Security Acceleration Engine (EIP197) directly from
user-space with minimum overhead and high performance.

Features
--------

MRVL CRYPTO PMD has support for:

* Symmetric crypto
* Sym operation chaining
* AES CBC (128)
* AES CBC (192)
* AES CBC (256)
* AES CTR (128)
* AES CTR (192)
* AES CTR (256)
* 3DES CBC
* 3DES CTR
* MD5
* MD5 HMAC
* SHA1
* SHA1 HMAC
* SHA256
* SHA256 HMAC
* SHA384
* SHA384 HMAC
* SHA512
* SHA512 HMAC
* AES GCM (128)

Limitations
-----------

* Hardware only supports scenarios where ICV (digest buffer) is placed just
  after the authenticated data. Other placement will result in error.

* Before running crypto test suite it is advised to increase limit of
  opened files:

  .. code-block:: console

     ulimit -n 20000

Installation
------------

MRVL CRYPTO PMD driver compilation is disabled by default due to external dependencies.
Currently there are two driver specific compilation options in
``config/common_base`` available:

- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MRVL_CRYPTO`` (default ``n``)

    Toggle compilation of the librte_pmd_mrvl driver.

- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MRVL_CRYPTO_DEBUG`` (default ``n``)

    Toggle display of debugging messages.

During compilation external MUSDK library, which provides direct access
to Marvell's EIP197 cryptographic engine, is necessary. Library sources are
available `here <https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/musdk-marvell/tree/musdk-armada-17.08>`__.

Alternatively, prebuilt library can be downloaded from
`Marvell Extranet <https://extranet.marvell.com>`_. Once approval has been
granted, library can be found by typing ``musdk`` in the search box.

For MUSDK library build instructions please refer to ``doc/musdk_get_started.txt``
in library sources directory.

MUSDK requires out of tree kernel modules to work. Kernel tree needed to build
them is available
`here <https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/linux-marvell/tree/linux-4.4.52-armada-17.08>`__.

Initialization
--------------

After successfully building MRVL CRYPTO PMD, the following modules need to be
loaded:

.. code-block:: console

   insmod musdk_uio.ko
   insmod mvpp2x_sysfs.ko
   insmod mv_pp_uio.ko
   insmod mv_sam_uio.ko
   insmod crypto_safexcel.ko

- `musdk_uio.ko`, `mv_pp2_uio.ko` and `mv_sam_uio.ko` are distributed together with MUSDK library.
- `crypto_safexcel.ko` is an in-kernel module.
- `mvpp2x_sysfs.ko` can be build from sources available `here <https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/mvpp2x-marvell/tree/mvpp2x-armada-17.08>`__.

The following parameters (all optional) are exported by the driver:

* max_nb_queue_pairs: maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default).
* max_nb_sessions: maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
* socket_id: socket on which to allocate the device resources on.

l2fwd-crypto example application can be used to verify MRVL CRYPTO PMD
operation:

.. code-block:: console

   ./l2fwd-crypto --vdev=net_mrvl,iface=eth0 --vdev=crypto_mrvl -- \
     --cipher_op ENCRYPT --cipher_algo aes-cbc \
     --cipher_key 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f  \
     --auth_op GENERATE --auth_algo sha1-hmac \
     --auth_key 10:11:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19:1a:1b:1c:1d:1e:1f

Example output:

.. code-block:: console
