The service allow enqueuing in + a burst similar to ``rte_cryptodev_enqueue_burst`` operation, or only + enqueue one job at a time but maintaining necessary context data locally for + next single job enqueue operation. The latter method is especially helpful + when the user application's crypto operations are clustered into a burst. + Allowing enqueue one operation at a time helps reducing one additional loop + and also reduced the cache misses during the double "looping" situation. +- Customerizable dequeue count. Instead of dequeue maximum possible operations + as same as ``rte_cryptodev_dequeue_burst`` operation, the service allows the + user to provide a callback function to decide how many operations to be + dequeued. This is especially helpful when the expected dequeue count is + hidden inside the opaque data stored during enqueue. The user can provide + the callback function to parse the opaque data structure. +- Abandon enqueue and dequeue anytime. One of the drawbacks of + ``rte_cryptodev_enqueue_burst`` and ``rte_cryptodev_dequeue_burst`` + operations are: once an operation is enqueued/dequeued there is no way to + undo the operation. The service make the operation abandon possible by + creating a local copy of the queue operation data in the service context + data. The data will be written back to driver maintained operation data + when enqueue or dequeue done function is called. + +The cryptodev data-path service uses + +Cryptodev PMDs who supports this feature will have +``RTE_CRYPTODEV_FF_SYM_HW_DIRECT_API`` feature flag presented. To use this +feature the function ``rte_cryptodev_get_dp_service_ctx_data_size`` should +be called to get the data path service context data size. The user should +creates a local buffer at least this size long and initialize it using +``rte_cryptodev_dp_configure_service`` function call. + +The ``rte_cryptodev_dp_configure_service`` function call initialize or +updates the ``struct rte_crypto_dp_service_ctx`` buffer, in which contains the +driver specific queue pair data pointer and service context buffer, and a +set of function pointers to enqueue and dequeue different algorithms' +operations. The ``rte_cryptodev_dp_configure_service`` should be called when: + +- Before enqueuing or dequeuing starts (set ``is_update`` parameter to 0). +- When different cryptodev session, security session, or session-less xform + is used (set ``is_update`` parameter to 1). + +Two different enqueue functions are provided. + +- ``rte_cryptodev_dp_sym_submit_vec``: submit a burst of operations stored in + the ``rte_crypto_sym_vec`` structure. +- ``rte_cryptodev_dp_submit_single_job``: submit single operation. + +Either enqueue functions will not command the crypto device to start processing +until ``rte_cryptodev_dp_submit_done`` function is called. Before then the user +shall expect the driver only stores the necessory context data in the +``rte_crypto_dp_service_ctx`` buffer for the next enqueue operation. If the user +wants to abandon the submitted operations, simply call +``rte_cryptodev_dp_configure_service`` function instead with the parameter +``is_update`` set to 0. The driver will recover the service context data to +the previous state. + +To dequeue the operations the user also have two operations: + +- ``rte_cryptodev_dp_sym_dequeue``: fully customizable deuqueue operation. The + user needs to provide the callback function for the driver to get the + dequeue count and perform post processing such as write the status field. +- ``rte_cryptodev_dp_sym_dequeue_single_job``: dequeue single job. + +Same as enqueue, the function ``rte_cryptodev_dp_dequeue_done`` is used to +merge user's local service context data with the driver's queue operation +data. Also to abandon the dequeue operation (still keep the operations in the +queue), the user shall avoid ``rte_cryptodev_dp_dequeue_done`` function call +but calling ``rte_cryptodev_dp_configure_service`` function with the parameter +``is_update`` set to 0. + +There are a few limitations to the data path service: + +* Only support in-place operations. +* APIs are NOT thread-safe. +* CANNOT mix the direct API's enqueue with rte_cryptodev_enqueue_burst, or + vice versa. + +See *DPDK API Reference* for details on each API definitions. + Sample code ----------- -- 2.20.1
