Subject: [PATCH] cryptodev: clarify error codes returned
Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2023 14:49:20 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230424091920.660-1-anoobj@marvell.com> (raw)

When symmetric sessions are created, it may fail due to non-critical
errors. When PMD doesn't support the specific combination that
application requested, it can return -ENOTSUP which can be handled so in
application. The API is already setting rte_errno according to the
reason of the failure. Clarifying this in the spec to list down possible
error codes.

Fixes: bdce2564dbf7 ("cryptodev: rework session framework")
