Hello,

>>From the documentation, http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/cryptodevs/aesni_gcm.html ,
I see that

   - Chained mbufs are supported but only out-of-place (destination mbuf
   must be contiguous).


   1. Is there a plan to remove limitation in the future?
   2. How would a packet larger than the configured buffer size be handled
   in DPDK?

My use case revolves around the decryption of a reassembled encrypted
packet with a bigger size.( chained buffers)

Regards,
{Nanda]
