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 multi buffer library (see AES-NI Multi-buffer PMD documentation
|
|
to learn more about it, including installation).
|
|
|
|
The AES-NI GCM PMD has current only been tested on Fedora 21 64-bit with gcc.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
AESNI GCM PMD has support for:
|
|
|
|
Cipher algorithms:
|
|
|
|
* RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_GCM
|
|
|
|
Authentication algorithms:
|
|
|
|
* RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_AES_GCM
|
|
|
|
Initialization
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
|
|
|
|
* Export the environmental variable AESNI_MULTI_BUFFER_LIB_PATH with the path where
|
|
the library was extracted.
|
|
|
|
* Build the multi buffer library (go to Installation section in AES-NI MB PMD documentation).
|
|
|
|
* 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("cryptodev_aesni_gcm_pmd") within the application.
|
|
|
|
* Use --vdev="cryptodev_aesni_gcm_pmd" 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 -c 40 -n 4 --vdev="cryptodev_aesni_gcm_pmd,socket_id=1,max_nb_sessions=128"
|
|
|
|
Limitations
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* Chained mbufs are not supported.
|
|
* Hash only is not supported.
|
|
* Cipher only is not supported.
|
|
* Only in-place is currently supported (destination address is the same as source address).
|
|
* Only supports session-oriented API implementation (session-less APIs are not supported).
|
|
* Not performance tuned.
