This an RFC API specification to add support for asymmetric crypto
in DPDK cryptodev library. It is derivative of earlier submitted
RFC v2 patch series by Umesh Kartha (umesh.kartha@caviumnetworks.com):
 http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/24245/
 http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/24246/
 http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/24247/

and *inclusive of review comments on RFC v2* with few minor changes
to asymmetric xform structures. Current list of proposed asymmetric
algorithm is as per RFC v2.

This spec primarily addresses last open review comment regarding
queue pair management among different kind of crypto devices.

Since, crypto devices can be of different capabilities, such as:
- can perform symmetric only operations,
- can perform asymmetric only operations,
- can do both but may have different ways to manage queue pairs, such
  as, may have dedicated queues for these or may use all qp to input
  any kind of operation.

Thus, it become key design question how to enable PMDs to do crypto
operations with such different capabilities and queue arrangements.

So, current specification focuses on  defining device capabilities
and PMD operations so as to encompass all kind of anticipated crypto
devices and intend to invite discussions and feedback on same.

Current version only complete with RSA algorithm and associated params.
Others algorithm capability and params will be added subsequently.

Add support for asymmetric crypto operations in DPDK lib cryptodev

Key feature include:
- Only session based asymmetric crypto operations
- new get and set APIs for symmetric and asymmetric session private
  data and other informations
- APIs to create, configure and attch queue pair to asymmetric sessions
- new capabilities in struct device_info to indicate
  -- number of dedicated queue pairs available for symmetric and
     asymmetric operations, if any
  -- number of asymmetric sessions possible per qp

Proposed asymmetric cryptographic operations are:
- rsa
- dsa
- deffie-hellman key pair generation and shared key computation
- ecdeffie-hellman
- fundamental elliptic curve operations
- elliptic curve DSA
- modular exponentiation and inversion

This patch primarily defines PMD operations and device capabilities
to perform asymmetric crypto ops on queue pairs and intend to
invite feedbacks on current proposal so as to ensure it encompass
all kind of crypto devices with different capabilities and queue
pair management.

List of TBDs:
- Currently, patch only updated for RSA xform and associated params.
  Other algoritms to be added in subsequent versions.
- per-service stats update

It is derivative of RFC v2 asymmetric crypto patch series initiated by

 http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/24246/

And inclusive of all review comments given on RFC v2.
 ( See complete discussion thread here:

Some of the RFCv2 Review comments pending for closure:
> " [Fiona] The count fn isn't used at all for sym - probably no need to add for asym
     better instead to remove the sym fn." 

     It is still present in dpdk-next-crypto for sym, so what has been decision
     on it?

>"[Fiona] if each qp can handle only a specific service, i.e. a subset off the capabilities
    Indicated by the device capability list, there's a need for a new API to query
    the capability of a qp."

    Current proposal doesn’t distinguish between device capability and qp capability.
    It rather leave such differences handling internal to PMDs. Thus no capability
    or API added for qp in current version. It is subject to revisit based on review
    feedback on current proposal.

- Sessionless Support.
    Current proposal only support Session-based because:
     1. All one-time setup i.e.  algos and associated params, such as, public-private keys 
        or modulus length can be done in control path using session-init API 
     2. it’s an easier way to dedicate qp to do specific service (using queue_pair_attach())
        which cannot be case in sessionless  
     3. Couldn’t find any significant advantage going sessionless way. Also existing most of PMDs are session-based. 

    It could be added in subsequent versions, if requirement is identified, based on review comment
    on this RFC.

Summary
-------

This section provides an overview of key feature enabled in current specification.
It comprise of key design challenges as have been identified on RFCv2 and 
summary description of new interfaces and definitions added to handle same.

Description
-----------

This API set assumes that the max_nb_queue_pairs on a
device can be allocated to any mix of sym or asym. Some devices
may have a fixed max per service. Thus, rte_cryptodev_info 
is updated with max_sym_nb_queues and max_asym_nb_queues with rule:

max_nb_queue_pair = max_nb_sym_qp + max_nb_asym_qp.

If device has no restrictions on qp to be used per service, such PMDs can leave
max_nb_sym_qp = max_nb_asym_qp = 0. In such case, application can setup any of
the service upto limit defined by max_nb_queue_pair.

Here, max_nb_sym_qp and max_nb_asym_qp, if non-zero, just define limit on qp which are
available for each service and *are not* ids to be used during qp setup and enqueue i.e.
if device supports both symmetric and asymmetric with n qp, then any of them
can be configured for symmetric or asymmetric subject to limit defined by
max_nb_sym_qp and max_nb_asym_qp. For example,
if device has 6 queues and 5 for symmetric and 1 for asymmetric that imply
application can setup only 1 out of any 6 qp for asymmetric and rest for
symmetric.

Additionally, application can dedicate qp to perform specific service via optional 
queue_pair_attach_sym/asym_session() API.

Except the ones mentioned above, specification doesn't define any restrictions on 
enqueue/dequeue API for different crypto services. Application can enqueue both symmetric
and asymmetric operations to same device and qp if device info indicate support of both
symmetric and asymmetric and qp is not dedicated to any. However in practice, it could 
result in head-of-line blocking due to the asym ops taking longer than the symmetric ops.

Some HW accelerators avoid this issue by supporting sym and asym ops
on different qps on the same device.  Such devices can set max_nb_sym_qp and
max_nb_asym_qp to number of queues available for each respective service.

This may give problem in indexing on enqueue/dequeue i.e.
if 2 asym qps and 2 sym qps are created on the same device,
the queue_pair_ids are duplicated. To handle such scenario,
2 alternatives are proposed for PMD design:

1. Allow all qp to input any operation type virtually. Say,

    Consider device with symmetric and asymmetric capability having 
    max_nb_queue_pair as 6, then by design, all 6 are capable to input
    both op types.

    If PMD uses fixed set of qp, then internally, can map qp id to
    actual physical qp id to be used according to session/op type.
    If such mapping is done on data path, may impact performance of PMDs.
    Thus, to handle such mapping out of data path, library provides an API
    queue_pair_attach_sym/asym_session() which facilitate application to 
    dedicate qp id to perform specific (sym/asym) service in control path
    and should be called before 1st call to enqueue_burst().
    Here PMD can bind app provided logical qp id to actual physical qp id to use
    depending on session type , OR alternatively 

2. PMDs can split it into two PMDs, one with symmetric ONLY capability and other 
    with asymmetric ONLY capability (also proposed by Fiona in RFCv2).
    This may require some  changes to EAL to facilitate pci device sharing between 
    PMDs, enabling separation of sym and  asym services onto different PMDs. 
    As per RFCv2 feedback, Intel  proposed to submit a patch to  enable this.

3. Some of the other alternatives were also suggested on RFCv2 as summarised here:
    "[Fiona] One alternative is to use different qp_ids for sym and asym.
      Remove the queue_pair_id from the xxx_queue_pair_setup fns
      and instead return the id. So e.g. if sym_queue_pair_setup() is called, then
      asym_queue_pair_setup(), then sym_queue_pair_setup() qp_id 0 and 2 would be
      sym qps and qp_id 1 would be an asym qp. Instead of separate 
      dev->data->asym_queue_pairs and dev->data->sym_queue_pairs arrays there 
      would be one common array. Another alternative is to use separate APIs i.e.
      rte_cryptodev_sym_enqueue_burst rte_cryptodev_asym_enqueue_burst."

     We believe eithr of above proposed 1st two solutions(against point 1 and 2) suffice to achieve purpose. 
     Thus, we don’t realize need to change notion of qp_setup() or add new enqueue_burst() variant 
     for asym at current stage. However it is subject to revisit, if any requirement is identified.

Subject: [RFC v1 1/1] lib/cryptodev: add support of asymmetric crypto

From: Shally Verma <sverma@caviumnetworks.com>

Add support for asymmetric crypto operations in DPDK lib cryptodev

Key feature include:
- Only session based asymmetric crypto operations
- new get and set APIs for symmetric and asymmetric session private
  data and other informations
- APIs to create, configure and attch queue pair to asymmetric sessions
- new capabilities in struct device_info to indicate
  -- number of dedicated queue pairs available for symmetric and
     asymmetric operations, if any
  -- number of asymmetric sessions possible per qp

Proposed asymmetric cryptographic operations are:
- rsa
- dsa
- deffie-hellman key pair generation and shared key computation
- ecdeffie-hellman
- fundamental elliptic curve operations
- elliptic curve DSA
- modular exponentiation and inversion

This patch primarily defines PMD operations and device capabilities
to perform asymmetric crypto ops on queue pairs and intend to
invite feedbacks on current proposal so as to ensure it encompass
all kind of crypto devices with different capabilities and queue
pair management.

List of TBDs:
- Currently, patch only updated for RSA xform and associated params.
  Other algoritms to be added in subsequent versions.
- per-service stats update

 ( See complete discussion thread here:
http://dev.dpdk.narkive.com/yqTFFLHw/dpdk-dev-rfc-specifications-for-asymmetric-crypto-algorithms#post12)

Some of the RFCv2 Review comments pending for closure:
> " [Fiona] The count fn isn't used at all for sym - probably no need to add for asym
     better instead to remove the sym fn." 

     It is still present in dpdk-next-crypto for sym, so what has been decision
     on it?

>"[Fiona] if each qp can handle only a specific service, i.e. a subset off the capabilities
    Indicated by the device capability list, there's a need for a new API to query
    the capability of a qp."

    Current proposal doesn’t distinguish between device capability and qp capability.
    It rather leave such differences handling internal to PMDs. Thus no capability
    or API added for qp in current version. It is subject to revisit based on review
    feedback on current proposal.

- Sessionless Support.
    Current proposal only support Session-based because:
     1. All one-time setup i.e.  algos and associated params, such as, public-private keys 
        or modulus length can be done in control path using session-init API 
     2. it’s an easier way to dedicate qp to do specific service (using queue_pair_attach())
        which cannot be case in sessionless  
     3. Couldn’t find any significant advantage going sessionless way. Also existing most of PMDs are session-based. 

    It could be added in subsequent versions, if requirement is identified, based on review comment
    on this RFC.

Summary
-------

This section provides an overview of key feature enabled in current specification.
It comprise of key design challenges as have been identified on RFCv2 and 
summary description of new interfaces and definitions added to handle same.

Description
-----------

This API set assumes that the max_nb_queue_pairs on a
device can be allocated to any mix of sym or asym. Some devices
may have a fixed max per service. Thus, rte_cryptodev_info 
is updated with max_sym_nb_queues and max_asym_nb_queues with rule:

max_nb_queue_pair = max_nb_sym_qp + max_nb_asym_qp.

If device has no restrictions on qp to be used per service, such PMDs can leave
max_nb_sym_qp = max_nb_asym_qp = 0. In such case, application can setup any of
the service upto limit defined by max_nb_queue_pair.

Here, max_nb_sym_qp and max_nb_asym_qp, if non-zero, just define limit on qp which are
available for each service and *are not* ids to be used during qp setup and enqueue i.e.
if device supports both symmetric and asymmetric with n qp, then any of them
can be configured for symmetric or asymmetric subject to limit defined by
max_nb_sym_qp and max_nb_asym_qp. For example,
if device has 6 queues and 5 for symmetric and 1 for asymmetric that imply
application can setup only 1 out of any 6 qp for asymmetric and rest for
symmetric.

Additionally, application can dedicate qp to perform specific service via optional 
queue_pair_attach_sym/asym_session() API.

Except the ones mentioned above, specification doesn't define any restrictions on 
enqueue/dequeue API for different crypto services. Application can enqueue both symmetric
and asymmetric operations to same device and qp if device info indicate support of both
symmetric and asymmetric and qp is not dedicated to any. However in practice, it could 
result in head-of-line blocking due to the asym ops taking longer than the symmetric ops.

Some HW accelerators avoid this issue by supporting sym and asym ops
on different qps on the same device.  Such devices can set max_nb_sym_qp and
max_nb_asym_qp to number of queues available for each respective service.

This may give problem in indexing on enqueue/dequeue i.e.
if 2 asym qps and 2 sym qps are created on the same device,
the queue_pair_ids are duplicated. To handle such scenario,
2 alternatives are proposed for PMD design:

1. Allow all qp to input any operation type virtually. Say,

    Consider device with symmetric and asymmetric capability having 
    max_nb_queue_pair as 6, then by design, all 6 are capable to input
    both op types.

    If PMD uses fixed set of qp, then internally, can map qp id to
    actual physical qp id to be used according to session/op type.
    If such mapping is done on data path, may impact performance of PMDs.
    Thus, to handle such mapping out of data path, library provides an API
    queue_pair_attach_sym/asym_session() which facilitate application to 
    dedicate qp id to perform specific (sym/asym) service in control path
    and should be called before 1st call to enqueue_burst().
    Here PMD can bind app provided logical qp id to actual physical qp id to use
    depending on session type , OR alternatively 

2. PMDs can split it into two PMDs, one with symmetric ONLY capability and other 
    with asymmetric ONLY capability (also proposed by Fiona in RFCv2).
    This may require some  changes to EAL to facilitate pci device sharing between 
    PMDs, enabling separation of sym and  asym services onto different PMDs. 
    As per RFCv2 feedback, Intel  proposed to submit a patch to  enable this.

3. Some of the other alternatives were also suggested on RFCv2 as summarised here:
    "[Fiona] One alternative is to use different qp_ids for sym and asym.
      Remove the queue_pair_id from the xxx_queue_pair_setup fns
      and instead return the id. So e.g. if sym_queue_pair_setup() is called, then
      asym_queue_pair_setup(), then sym_queue_pair_setup() qp_id 0 and 2 would be
      sym qps and qp_id 1 would be an asym qp. Instead of separate 
      dev->data->asym_queue_pairs and dev->data->sym_queue_pairs arrays there 
      would be one common array. Another alternative is to use separate APIs i.e.
      rte_cryptodev_sym_enqueue_burst rte_cryptodev_asym_enqueue_burst."

     We believe eithr of above proposed 1st two solutions(against point 1 and 2) suffice to achieve purpose. 
     Thus, we don’t realize need to change notion of qp_setup() or add new enqueue_burst() variant 
     for asym at current stage. However it is subject to revisit, if any requirement is identified.

>     actual physical qp id to be used according to session/op type.
>     If such mapping is done on data path, may impact performance of PMDs.
>     Thus, to handle such mapping out of data path, library provides an API
>     queue_pair_attach_sym/asym_session() which facilitate application to
>     dedicate qp id to perform specific (sym/asym) service in control path
>     and should be called before 1st call to enqueue_burst().
>     Here PMD can bind app provided logical qp id to actual physical qp id to use
>     depending on session type , OR alternatively
> 
> 2. PMDs can split it into two PMDs, one with symmetric ONLY capability and
> other
>     with asymmetric ONLY capability (also proposed by Fiona in RFCv2).
>     This may require some  changes to EAL to facilitate pci device sharing
> between
>     PMDs, enabling separation of sym and  asym services onto different PMDs.
>     As per RFCv2 feedback, Intel  proposed to submit a patch to  enable this.

> 3. Some of the other alternatives were also suggested on RFCv2 as
> summarised here:
>     "[Fiona] One alternative is to use different qp_ids for sym and asym.
>       Remove the queue_pair_id from the xxx_queue_pair_setup fns
>       and instead return the id. So e.g. if sym_queue_pair_setup() is called,
> then
>       asym_queue_pair_setup(), then sym_queue_pair_setup() qp_id 0 and 2
> would be
>       sym qps and qp_id 1 would be an asym qp. Instead of separate
>       dev->data->asym_queue_pairs and dev->data->sym_queue_pairs arrays
> there
>       would be one common array. Another alternative is to use separate APIs
> i.e.
>       rte_cryptodev_sym_enqueue_burst
> rte_cryptodev_asym_enqueue_burst."
> 
>      We believe eithr of above proposed 1st two solutions(against point 1 and
> 2) suffice to achieve purpose.
>      Thus, we don’t realize need to change notion of qp_setup() or add new
> enqueue_burst() variant
>      for asym at current stage. However it is subject to revisit, if any
> requirement is identified.

[Fiona] Though it's probably premature to include on the API have you considered 
providing for pre-loaded keys in future, i.e. the ability to wrap keys or refer to keys
already stored securely on the device, as an alternative to passing the keys on the API?

[Fiona] No change. The rte_cryptodev_ops fn is still not called so useless and should be removed.
rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_count() returns the num_qps configured in 
rte_cryptodev_configure(), but never calls the PMD dev_ops.queue_pair_count().
So cryptodev_sym_queue_pair_count_t should be deprecated.
And no point in adding one for asym.

[Fiona] This would not work for some devices, comments below.

[Fiona] Our preference would be for sessionless, as it would need fewer API calls (no session_create/session_clear) 
and e.g. DH and ECDH sessions are likely to be only used for a single op. However this is not a blocker for
this API, we can POC it later and propose an extension to the API if it gives a performance improvement.

[Fiona] This seems awkward if a genuine 0  e.g. An appl wants to set up a sym qp, and
sees that max_nb_queue_pair=4. Can't trust this - needs to look deeper. Sees 
max_nb_sym_qp=0. Doesn't know if that means it can set up 4 sym qps or no qps
until it also checks max_nb_asym_qp. If=4 then it can't set up any sym qp, if=0 it can set up 4.
Would it be better if   
	max_nb_queue_pair = max(max_nb_sym_qp, max_nb_asym_qp).
	max_nb_sym_qp = 0..max_nb_queue_pair
	max_nb_asym_qp = 0..max_nb_queue_pair

[Fiona] This is too late - some devices have qps which need to know at setup which
service they'll be used for, as they reserve resources based on the service.
e.g. a device reports in info that it can support qps(max 4, max_sym 2, max asym 2)
An application just wants to use 1 sym qp and 1 asym, so configures device with 
qps(max 2, max_sym 1, max asym 1)
Now appl calls qp_setup for qp index 0. Wants to start with running asymmetric
service and will set up the symmetric later, maybe in a separate thread.
Our devices need to know at setup time which service will be used on the qp.
So haven't been given enough information to setup the qp.

Even if the PMD could set up service-agnostic qps and just map later, you 
suggest the qp_attach_sym/asym_session() would be optional. How could the appl
make the decision whether to call it or not in above case? It needs to know whether
the created qp is agnostic or not, so a capability must be reported by the PMD. 
OR the API should not be optional, must be called for every session. 
But that's perf impacting and not helpful if a device could support service-agnostic qps.

I don't have a solution for service-agnostic qps. For our devices that's not necessary.
Is it likely that anyone wants to set up a qp to process both sym and asym ops?
Is it sufficient to accommodate qps which can support either
service, but one must be picked at setup after which the qp supports only that service?
How about the following - :
 - device reports in info qps(max, max_sym, max asym) where
	max = max(max_sym, max_asym).
	max_sym = 0..max
	max_asym = 0..max
	So if a device reports 4,2,2, it has 4 total, 2 can be setup for sym, 2 for asym
	Or if it reports 4,4,4, all 4 of them can be setup as sym or all 4 as
	asym or a mix, but total setup can't be more than 4. 
 - appl configures qps(max, max_sym, max_asym)
	If it specifies 4,1,3 it wants to use 4 in total, 1 for sym, 3 for asym.
	If it specifies 1,1,0 it wants to use 1 in total, 1 for sym, 0 for asym.
	The numbers it configures must be <= those reported in info.
 - appl calls qp_setup(dev, qp, service) where service = sym or asym
	qp index must be between 0..max-1
	The PMD maps that index to an internal qp which can support the requested service.
	If qp_setup is called on an index and the max configured qps have already
	been setup for that service then the setup fails.
In case the appl forgets which qp it set up for which service, I think it would be necessary to add a new API
	rte_cryptodev_qp_info() which would return what service is configured on the qp
 
If it's necessary to support service-agnostic qps, then one way would be to specify a third service above as 
 - sym+asym.
And have devices report max_sym_asym_qps?

It's difficult to find a solution for this without breaking the current API - see simpler
alternative below.

[Fiona] The eal changes were problematic, and feedback from the Dublin userspace 
event last September was that several others have tried similar but reverted to resolving
the problem within the PMD. This is what we are also in the process of doing.
With this we intend to avoid all the above complications.
i.e. one pci device, in its probe fn, can create multiple API device instances.
One instance of cryptodev will provide a sym crypto service, one instance of 
compressdev will provide a compression service and a second cryptodev instance will
provide the asymmetric service. All qps on each API device instance can then support all 
of the capabilities reported by that device.

A suggestion for keeping the simplicity on the API would be to follow the same pattern.
i.e. don't provide any support for specification of sym or asym qps. Expect all
qps on each device to support all capabilities reported. 


> 3. Some of the other alternatives were also suggested on RFCv2 as summarised here:
>     "[Fiona] One alternative is to use different qp_ids for sym and asym.

(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2313), which specifies three values for block type.

[Fiona] as above. Why 1? And is it needed?

[Fiona] Wouldn't it be better to put this back in as the initial value in the enum as originally done?
Else will there not be a compiler warning if a param of that enum type is 
initialised to above #define?
And are _BINARY and _PRIME values needed in this case?

[Fiona] Do we really want to specify curves < 224 bits? Even 224 is woefully insecure these days.
Also do we want to list all "published" curves, or allow customers to specify 
their own curve parameters, at least on the FECC API? Adding an API to specify a curve with
its params would allow new curves to be used without affecting the API and
would avoid the need for such an extensive list.
Do we need a "capabilities" mask to say which curves are supported by a device?
What about SM2?

[Fiona] Because the values of these two enums overlap, if you specify the curve type incorrectly, you'll still
have a potentially valid curve enum specified. I suggest it's safer to include the type here with the union,
rather than in the wrapper xform struct, i.e. 
struct rte_crypto_ec_curve {
	enum rte_crypto_ec_curve_type curve_type;
	/**< curve type: Prime vs Binary */
	union {
	enum rte_crypto_ec_prime_curve pcurve_id;
	enum rte_crypto_ec_binary_curve bcurve_id;
	};

[Fiona] This allows both representations of the private key to be specified
with the possibility of confusion if both are specified.
Would it be better to have a union of 2 different structures, one with {n,d} and 
the other with {p,q,dP,dQ,qInv}?

I'd suggest removing unless needed.

[Fiona] Are you suggesting the same session pool might be used
for both sym and asym sessions?
Seems unlikely, but if an application chose to, it seems better
 that it would do it explicitly,
e.g. get asym and sym private sizes, same as it gets size from the other 
drivers and sizes for the maximum.
If meaning is changed as you suggest then sym applications already
implemented will likely end up with pools sized for a session size they don’t need.

As I think the combined pool case unlikely, it makes more sense to me that this
fn should have comment changed to say it returns only sym session size
for backwards capability reasons, but will be deprecated
and appls should use get_sym_session_private_size instead.

[Fiona] "max_nb_queue_pair" is passed in to args and parsed. Stored in init_params,
passed to device creation. And then ignored, not used at all. So no need to add new 
max_nb_asym_qp and max_nb_sym_qp to either args or init_params. They're not
used either in this RFC.
We should deprecate the current param from args and init_params.

PMDs hardcode the value they return in rte_cryptodev_info.

[Fiona] Is something calling either of above fns? If not better to remove the asym one.
The sym one should be deprecated and removed in a separate patch.

[Fiona] session pools are not created now per device so this is never called for sym and 
should be deprecated. So no need to add for asym

[Shally] Current intention of DPDK asym spec is to expose HW capabilities to application to offload these compute intensive ops. 
Though your use-case is very much a practical requirement , but to achieve this I believe we need a layer above this spec and need different interfaces. Such as, some public/secure key library which provide interfaces to generate / store/ perform op using an opaque key handles which internally can use DPDK to do part of it. For such case, I envision dpdk (or library above) will likely run on some secure processor. Thus, currently I kept such use-case out of current spec scope.

[Shally] You mean you recommend to have session-less support along with session-based?

[Shally] Ok. I can change definition to replace 0 by max num for no-limit case with slight modification  to the condition i.e.
max_nb_queue_pair >=  max(max_nb_sym_qp, max_nb_asym_qp) 

because device can have distribution of (max_nb_queue_pair, max_nb_sym_qp, max_nb_asym_qp) as (4,4,4) or (4,3,1)
where total number of qp setup by application cannot exceed max_nb_queue_pairs.

[Shally] Initially I had thought of same proposal to add an input field in qp_conf so that PMD can know at qp_setup time which service it going to be used for.
However looking that spec already had qp_attach_sym/asym APIs and also the possibility that some device can support service - agnostic qp, I initiated with current proposal.
I marked them optional with a disclaimer that , if not attached, then PMD will then need to map logical qpid to physical during enqueue_burst() which might result in impacted performance. 
This is particularly applicable to devices which internally have fixed qps per each service and set max_nb_sym/asym_qp to indicate same.
And thus for such devices, I primarily recommended that they should appear as two separate PMDs where one support sym and other asym. 
However, only point to is to see how well suited is this for each device driver design as it might rather turn to be simpler for some implementation to just have single way to dedicate a qp to a service via attach or qp_setup change than having two separate instances.

But, I concur from your thoughts. We can start with simple definition and remove concept of max_nb_sym_qp and max_nb_asym_qp in first version and say 
-if device support service agnostic qp, that means all of its qp can be set up for any service. PMD can show in its feature flag support for symmetric and asymmetric crypto. Application can set up qp the way it want, spec define no recommended way of usage here 
-if device has fixed set of qp per each service, then it should split itself into two : symmetric only and asymmetric only. 

This is well suited for session-less also.  IMO, If any issues reported with these rules, then we can add this support later based on the then identified requirement. However, if we end up adding the support back of max_nb_sym/asym_qp in spec later, then attach/detach_qp APIs will not be sufficient as they are session specific. Given that, having an input param during qp_setup() is more generic way that suit both session and sessionless way. Does this all sounds right?
 
I will wait to close on this design discussion first before giving feedback to rest of the comment further below. But consider all feedback regarding typo and licensing as acknowledged.

Thanks

[Fiona] I would word this differently, as no mechanism is provided for an appl to setup a qp for a specific service.
If PMD shows in its feature flag that it supports both sym and asym then it must support those on all its qps.
Application may choose to direct all asym ops to one qp and all asym to a different qp to avoid
head-of-line blocking, but there is nothing in the qp setup or capabilities to prevent the application
from sending an enqueue_burst() with a mix of asym and sym ops all to the same qp and it should work.

[Fiona] For us this is ok, but it would be good to get feedback from other providers of hw acceleration
as it is quite a constraint.

[Fiona] agreed.

[Shally] That's the intention but until then I assume we agree to current proposal?!

If yes, then just to align and close on our discussion on this here’s the summary :
- There's no differentiation to device capability and qp capability.  If PMD shows in its feature flag that it supports both sym and asym then it must support those on all its qps.
- if PMD support both but internally has hw with dedicated qp for each service then it *can* split itself into two: symmetric only and asymmetric only PMD instances.
- Currently we don’t see a requirement to dedicate qp to a service, thus no need for max_nb_sym/asym_qp or service_type info during qp_setup. However this is open for review and discussion and can be added later, if any requirement is identified for same.

Is that correct?

[Shally] I thought of it but having a xform RTE_CRYPTO_XFORM_MOD with two ops RTE_CRYPTO_OP_MOD_EXP and MOD_INV 
doesn’t seem to provide any benefit. Or do you have something else in mind?
In addition, I am thinking probably we don’t need sessions for modexp or modinv ops. I am thinking to change their support as sessionless only.
App can directly attach xform to compute modexp or inverse to op. What do you suggest?

[Shally]  We need to indicate list of supported op in xform capability structure. Because an implementation may support RSA encrypt and decrypt but not RSA Sign and verify. Or, Can support DSA Sign compute but not verify.
So, it was added to indicate end-of-array marker (though doesn’t need to be 1 for that reason). but now when I think to re-design its support, then it won't be needed. 
So, I thought rather than carrying op_type array, I can add an op_type bitmask in xform capability to show supported ops.

Example capability check code then would look like:
int rte_crypto_asym_check_op_type ( const rte_crypto_asym_capabilties *capa, int op_type) {
	If(capa->op_types & (1 << op_type))
		return 0;
	return -1;
}

Please let me know your feedback, if you have any preferences here.

[Shally] so far, I was assuming it will generate both but when you say private key optional, where you expect it to be coming from? - from app or generated internally? Is their hw variant which may not generate private key?

[Shally] This is for same reason to indicate in fecc xform capability list of supported op type in fundamental EC operation. And if we agree to use proposal above to use bitmask, it won't be needed.

[Shally] Agreed. We would need to use typecast to avoid warning so I will revert and define _Primary and Binary variant. But before that I have one question on published list. See below.

[Shally] I would take this question in-parts:

" Also do we want to list all "published" curves, or allow customers to specify their own curve parameters,"
- Currently specification allow app to do both i.e. it can either setup these published curve ids or specify its own domain params to all elliptic curve based xforms (ecdh, ecdsa, and fecc).
  If input curve has curve_type = UNSPECIFIED, PMD uses domain parameters else it uses curveid given by app from this published list. 
  So, is this missing any requirement that need to be supported?!

" Adding an API to specify a curve with its params would allow new curves to be used without affecting the API and would avoid the need for such an extensive list."
- help me understand a bit here. Are you suggesting, we can remove this publish list and add a new API such as 

int rte_crypto_asym_new_curve(int curveid, rte_crypto_asym_ec_domain_params params) 

which app can call to create its curveid with its own domain parameters in PMD? 

If yes, then how it would help remove published list? Does that mean that we assume app to retrieve domain params from these standard and re-create again on PMD? 

"do we have to publish curves < 224 bits"
- We just listed all based on previous feedback to include non-nist curve id. But agree it can be narrowed down to few (may be to one used by ssl)

>Do we need a "capabilities" mask to say which curves are supported by a device?

[Shally] Yes, if we are supporting published id.

>What about SM2?
[Shally] app can setup ec params as mentioned in sm2 spec. does it need any explicit support on API?

[Shally] We would need curve type if we need to define a new curve based on domain params. Let's cover it later once we clarify above feedback.

[Shally] Yes. One possible chain ECDH key generation followed by ECDSA sign compute. Similar with DH key generation + DSA sign compute.
Currently these are only valid chain I foresee that can be setup to be performed on an op using that session. Can add other if we identify more such dependent
set of operation.

[Fiona] I think a bitmask is ok. Would only need an array if there were other params whose capabilities would
 vary depending on the op_type. E.g. like range of digest_size in sym depends on the algo. But does code below
not need a xform_type input? Or is capa the capability for one specific xform_type?

[Fiona] In our native driver the private key, which is usually just a random number conforming to 
0 < private_key < (primeP - 1), is passed in by the application and only the public key is generated.
Some hw accelerators may have RNG capabilities, others may not or the application may prefer to generate
its own RN.

[Fiona] So you mean the params in ECDH xform (a,b,G,n,h) are only specified if curve_type = UNSPECIFIED,
else not needed? And in FECC the params (order,G,a,b,h) ?
Ecdsa xform not yet specified, but it will have a similar set?
Then I would suggest creating a struct to hold this param set and using same struct in all 3 xforms.

and probably easier to manage.

[Fiona] I'm looking for feedback internally on this - will get back to you later.
But I think it could be trimmed to at least removing those curves < 224 bits.
The xform params can be used to cover unlikely curves trimmed from the list.

[Fiona] So how about adding the struct with curve params I mentioned above as a 3rd element in the union?

[Fiona] As these are on the internal API between PMDs and API layer, rather than the application<->cryptodev
interface I think they don't need an announcement.
But would need to be done in a standalone patch, with all PMDs changed

[Shally] Yes. capability here is of one xform. I will change variable name to rte_crypto_asym_xform_capabilities to be more clear here.

[Shally] Ok. I will work around to add this support.

[Shally] Yes agreed. So new structs looks like:

struct rte_crypto_ec_domain_params { g, a , b, n ,h };

struct rte_crypto_ec_curve {
	enum rte_crypto_ec_curve_type curve_type;
	/**< curve type: Prime vs Binary */
	union {
	enum rte_crypto_ec_prime_curve pcurve_id;
	enum rte_crypto_ec_binary_curve bcurve_id;
	struct rte_crypto_ec_domain_params dparams;
	};

[Shally] ok.

So, I will cover elliptic curve and session_configure change in separate patches and send 1st patch with features covered and agreed.
