[dpdk-dev] [RFC] mark asym session-buffer non-reuseable

[dpdk-dev] [RFC] mark asym session-buffer non-reuseable

[Ayuj Verma]

This RFC proposes changes in asymmetric session usability of
transform structure. In current implementation asym xform is
seen as temporary entity that can be re-used by application
once sessions are initialized with it.

This enforces PMD to copy all key buffers during session setup
time. Since life-time of sessions are small, so we can hold
these buffers with session, reducing memcpy time by marking these as
read-only so that PMDs which doesn’t require any manipulation of
xform data can directly use these buffers in session configure. 

So, sending a proposal to mark xform as non-reusable till lifetime
of session. This will help PMDs to reduce session setup time.

[dpdk-dev] [RFC] lib/crypto: mark asym session-buffer non-reuseable

[Ayuj Verma]

Update asym xform usage in cryptodev documentation.

Xform are immutable, non-reuseable entity till
life time of session. This allow some PMD to optimize
session setup time.

[Fiona] I agree with the intent of the RFC. And suggest being more explicit and 
saying "It and all the data buffers it points to should remain constant..."

[Fiona] for security I suggest adding here "It's the PMDs responsibility to ensure that any private data
copied to local PMD storage is not stored by the PMD for longer than the session lifetime.

[Ayuj] In practical scenario like SSL, handshake will happen in some 10-15 packets.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [RFC] mark asym session-buffer non-reuseable

[Ayuj Verma]

Hi Akhil, Arek, Fiona,


Since this require changes in other Asym PMD( qat) apart from openssl (we plan to send changes for this),

so should we need to send any announcement on ABI breakage here before proposing patch v1?


Thanks and regards

Ayuj Verma

Re: [dpdk-dev] [RFC] mark asym session-buffer non-reuseable

[Trahe, Fiona]

No need as API is still experimental.

Howver I'd suggest changing the subject to
"declare crypto asym xform immutable"
non-reusable is confusing as the session and xform will be re-used on all the ops associated with the session.

Hi Akhil, Arek, Fiona,



Since this require changes in other Asym PMD( qat) apart from openssl (we plan to send changes for this),

so should we need to send any announcement on ABI breakage here before proposing patch v1?



Thanks and regards

Ayuj Verma
