[Arek] - then it should be stated in rte_crypto_sym_op iv comments.

[Arek] - looking from your answers below, this one could just be aes_xts_dataunit_len.

[Arek] - I am not sure but looks like informative, especially that it is only one 16bit long field.

[Arek] - Currently in DPDK we have 3 block cipher algorithms:
TDEA(3DES) - 8 byte block, AES - 16 byte block, KASUMI -8byte (but deprecated since 3G),
Additionally IPsec ietf defines NULL as block cipher with 1 byte len, but ETSI doesn't do that with EEA,EIA,NIA-0.

[Arek]  - this comment was meant for cipher block modes that needs input aligned to block cipher len, like CBC padding.
In case of XTS it should be something like : multiple of xform xts_data_unit len or one of two:
- data unit len itself in case device does not support multiple data units.
- 0 and data unit len would be taken from session/xform in case device does not support multiple data units.

[Arek] - yes, it should be possible to do that if user keep track of tweak value.
