Since our PMD doesn't have a prepare function, I missed that but, since rte_security_set_pkt_metadata() is only used for Inline Crypto/Protocol via a rte_eth_dev, and both rte_security_set_pkt_metadata() and rte_eth_tx_prepare() are callbacks from same PMD, do you see any issue ? The restriction is from user side, data is not supposed to be modified unless rte_security_set_pkt_metadata() is called again. If your question is can't we do the preprocessing in rte_eth_tx_prepare() for security, my only argument was that since there is already a hit in rte_security_set_pkt_metadata() to PMD specific callback and struct rte_security_session is passed as an argument to it, it is more benefitial to do security related pre-processing there. Also rte_eth_tx_prepare() if implemented will be called for both security and non-security pkts. > > > > > > > > > > > > This patch is trying to enforce semantics as above so that > > > > rte_security_set_pkt_metadata() can predict what comes in the pkt when he is > > > > called. > > > > > > > > I also think above sequence is what Linux kernel stack or other stacks follow. > > > > Does it makes sense ? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Once called, > > > > > > +Layer 3 and above data cannot be modified or moved around unless > > > > > > +``rte_security_set_pkt_metadata()`` is called again. > > > > > > > > > > > > For inline protocol offloaded ingress traffic, the application can register a > > > > > > pointer, ``userdata`` , in the security session.
