Hi folks,
We had based the ipsec-mb version bump to 1.4 on both intel ipsec-mb and arm ipsec-mb supporting that version, so both could still use the Ipsec-mb SW PMDs.
I based the arm support from the repo main branch (https://gitlab.arm.com/arm-reference-solutions/ipsec-mb/-/tree/main)
It's version is 1.4 and looks like some of the code changes from intel-ipsec-mb 1.4 have been merged in (e.g. imb_set_session function which is 1.4+).
I know there was issues before with it being tagged as 1.4 too soon - is that still the case, or is the main branch up to date now with intel-ipsec-mb 1.4?
Thanks,
Ciara
Hi Ciara,
I see what you mean and did a test on an arm container. I used tip of main for ipsec-mb, applied the v1.4 requirement patch to dpdk, built dpdk and was able to run the ZUC autotest with the zuc vdev pmd.

Usually when we install dependencies we go from a tag which is stable. We'll update the dpdk-ci container image template engine to clone the repo and then checkout to this commit which is known to be good: cef9b8924e3ff52f2c5a3703860008c27ee723c4. And our automated testing can remain online in this way.
should be updated to reference this commit, or a newly introduced tag, to reflect that the SECLIB-IPSEC-2023.06.20 tag will no longer work for 24.03 as it is ipsec 1.3.
Thanks for the help.
