Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 1/3] cryptodev: add min headroom and tailroom requirement
Date: Wed,  4 Jul 2018 19:25:48 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1530712550-18099-2-git-send-email-anoob.joseph@caviumnetworks.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1530712550-18099-1-git-send-email-anoob.joseph@caviumnetworks.com>

Enabling crypto devs to specify the minimum headroom and tailroom it
expects in the mbuf. For net PMDs, standard headroom has to be honoured
by applications, which is not strictly followed for crypto devs. This
prevents crypto devs from using free space in mbuf (available as
head/tailroom) for internal requirements in crypto operations. Addition
of head/tailroom requirement will help PMDs to communicate such
requirements to the application.

The availability and use of head/tailroom is an optimization if the
hardware supports use of head/tailroom for crypto-op info. For devices
that do not support using the head/tailroom, they can continue to operate
without any performance-drop.

+* cryptodev: Additional fields in rte_cryptodev_info.
+
+  Two new fields of type ``uint16_t`` added in ``rte_cryptodev_info``
+  structure: ``min_mbuf_headroom_req`` and ``min_mbuf_tailroom_req``. These
+  parameters specify the recommended headroom and tailroom for mbufs to be
+  processed by the PMD.
