+
+* The combinations marked as "Y" are supported on all QAT hardware versions.
+* The combinations marked as "2&3" are supported on GEN2/GEN3 QAT hardware only.
Limitations
------------
+~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Hash only is not supported except SNOW 3G UIA2 and KASUMI F9.
* Only supports the session-oriented API implementation (session-less APIs are not supported).
-* SNOW 3G (UEA2) and KASUMI (F8) supported only if cipher length, cipher offset fields are byte-aligned.
-* SNOW 3G (UIA2) and KASUMI (F9) supported only if hash length, hash offset fields are byte-aligned.
+* SNOW 3G (UEA2), KASUMI (F8) and ZUC (EEA3) supported only if cipher length and offset fields are byte-multiple.
+* SNOW 3G (UIA2) and ZUC (EIA3) supported only if hash length and offset fields are byte-multiple.
* No BSD support as BSD QAT kernel driver not available.
* ZUC EEA3/EIA3 is not supported by dh895xcc devices
-* Maximum additional authenticated data (AAD) for GCM is 240 bytes long.
+* Maximum additional authenticated data (AAD) for GCM is 240 bytes long and must be passed to the device in a buffer rounded up to the nearest block-size multiple (x16) and padded with zeros.
+* Queue-pairs are thread-safe on Intel CPUs but Queues are not (that is, within a single
+ queue-pair all enqueues to the TX queue must be done from one thread and all dequeues
+ from the RX queue must be done from one thread, but enqueues and dequeues may be done
+ in different threads.)
+* A GCM limitation exists, but only in the case where there are multiple
+ generations of QAT devices on a single platform.
+ To optimise performance, the GCM crypto session should be initialised for the
+ device generation to which the ops will be enqueued. Specifically if a GCM
+ session is initialised on a GEN2 device, but then attached to an op enqueued
+ to a GEN3 device, it will work but cannot take advantage of hardware
+ optimisations in the GEN3 device. And if a GCM session is initialised on a
+ GEN3 device, then attached to an op sent to a GEN1/GEN2 device, it will not be
+ enqueued to the device and will be marked as failed. The simplest way to
+ mitigate this is to use the bdf whitelist to avoid mixing devices of different
+ generations in the same process if planning to use for GCM.
+* The mixed algo feature on GEN2 is not supported by all kernel drivers. Check
+ the notes under the Available Kernel Drivers table below for specific details.
+* Out-of-place is not supported for combined Crypto-CRC DOCSIS security
+ protocol.
+* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_DES_DOCSISBPI`` is not supported for combined Crypto-CRC
+ DOCSIS security protocol.
+* Multi-segment buffers are not supported for combined Crypto-CRC DOCSIS
+ security protocol.
+
+Extra notes on KASUMI F9
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When using KASUMI F9 authentication algorithm, the input buffer must be
+constructed according to the
+`3GPP KASUMI specification <http://cryptome.org/3gpp/35201-900.pdf>`_
+(section 4.4, page 13). The input buffer has to have COUNT (4 bytes),
+FRESH (4 bytes), MESSAGE and DIRECTION (1 bit) concatenated. After the DIRECTION
+bit, a single '1' bit is appended, followed by between 0 and 7 '0' bits, so that
+the total length of the buffer is multiple of 8 bits. Note that the actual
+message can be any length, specified in bits.
+
+Once this buffer is passed this way, when creating the crypto operation,
+length of data to authenticate "op.sym.auth.data.length" must be the length
+of all the items described above, including the padding at the end.
+Also, offset of data to authenticate "op.sym.auth.data.offset"
+must be such that points at the start of the COUNT bytes.
+
+Asymmetric Crypto Service on QAT
+--------------------------------
+
+The QAT asymmetric crypto PMD (hereafter referred to as `QAT ASYM [PMD]`) provides
+poll mode crypto driver support for the following hardware accelerator devices:
+
+* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology DH895xCC``
+* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x``
+* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C3xxx``
+* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology D15xx``
+* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C4xxx``
+
+The QAT ASYM PMD has support for:
+
+* ``RTE_CRYPTO_ASYM_XFORM_MODEX``
+* ``RTE_CRYPTO_ASYM_XFORM_MODINV``
+
+Limitations
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* Big integers longer than 4096 bits are not supported.
+* Queue-pairs are thread-safe on Intel CPUs but Queues are not (that is, within a single
+ queue-pair all enqueues to the TX queue must be done from one thread and all dequeues
+ from the RX queue must be done from one thread, but enqueues and dequeues may be done
+ in different threads.)
+* RSA-2560, RSA-3584 are not supported

+
+Building PMDs on QAT
+--------------------
+
+A QAT device can host multiple acceleration services:
+
+* symmetric cryptography
+* data compression
+* asymmetric cryptography
+
+These services are provided to DPDK applications via PMDs which register to
+implement the corresponding cryptodev and compressdev APIs. The PMDs use
+common QAT driver code which manages the QAT PCI device. They also depend on a
+QAT kernel driver being installed on the platform, see :ref:`qat_kernel` below.
-Installation
-------------
+Configuring and Building the DPDK QAT PMDs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-To enable QAT in DPDK, follow the instructions for modifying the compile-time
-configuration file as described `here <http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.html>`_.
-Quick instructions are as follows:
+Further information on configuring, building and installing DPDK is described
+:doc:`here <../linux_gsg/build_dpdk>`.
+
+
+Quick instructions for QAT cryptodev PMD are as follows:
.. code-block:: console
cd to the top-level DPDK directory
- make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
- sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
+ make defconfig
+ sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
+ or/and
+ sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_ASYM\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
make
-To use the DPDK QAT PMD an SRIOV-enabled QAT kernel driver is required. The VF
-devices exposed by this driver will be used by the QAT PMD. The devices and
-available kernel drivers and device ids are :
+Quick instructions for QAT compressdev PMD are as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ cd to the top-level DPDK directory
+ make defconfig
+ make
+
+
+.. _building_qat_config:
+
+Build Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These are the build configuration options affecting QAT, and their default values:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT=y
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM=n
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_ASYM=n
+ CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_MAX_PCI_DEVICES=48
+ CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_COMP_IM_BUFFER_SIZE=65536
+
+CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT must be enabled for any QAT PMD to be built.
+
+Both QAT SYM PMD and QAT ASYM PMD have an external dependency on libcrypto, so are not
+built by default. CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM/ASYM should be enabled to build them.
+
+The QAT compressdev PMD has no external dependencies, so needs no configuration
+options and is built by default.
+
+The number of VFs per PF varies - see table below. If multiple QAT packages are
+installed on a platform then CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_MAX_PCI_DEVICES should be
+adjusted to the number of VFs which the QAT common code will need to handle.
+
+.. Note::
+
+ There are separate config items (not QAT-specific) for max cryptodevs
+ CONFIG_RTE_CRYPTO_MAX_DEVS and max compressdevs CONFIG_RTE_COMPRESS_MAX_DEVS,
+ if necessary these should be adjusted to handle the total of QAT and other
+ devices which the process will use. In particular for crypto, where each
+ QAT VF may expose two crypto devices, sym and asym, it may happen that the
+ number of devices will be bigger than MAX_DEVS and the process will show an error
+ during PMD initialisation. To avoid this problem CONFIG_RTE_CRYPTO_MAX_DEVS may be
+ increased or -w, pci-whitelist domain:bus:devid:func option may be used.
+
+
+QAT compression PMD needs intermediate buffers to support Deflate compression
+with Dynamic Huffman encoding. CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_COMP_IM_BUFFER_SIZE
+specifies the size of a single buffer, the PMD will allocate a multiple of these,
+plus some extra space for associated meta-data. For GEN2 devices, 20 buffers are
+allocated while for GEN1 devices, 12 buffers are allocated, plus 1472 bytes overhead.
+
+.. Note::
+
+ If the compressed output of a Deflate operation using Dynamic Huffman
+ Encoding is too big to fit in an intermediate buffer, then the
+ operation will be split into smaller operations and their results will
+ be merged afterwards.
+ This is not possible if any checksum calculation was requested - in such
+ case the code falls back to fixed compression.
+ To avoid this less performant case, applications should configure
+ the intermediate buffer size to be larger than the expected input data size
+ (compressed output size is usually unknown, so the only option is to make
+ larger than the input size).

+If only a small number or packets can be enqueued. Each enqueue causes an expensive MMIO write.
+These MMIO write occurrences can be optimised by setting any of the following parameters:
+- qat_sym_enq_threshold
+- qat_asym_enq_threshold
+- qat_comp_enq_threshold
+
+When any of these parameters is set rte_cryptodev_enqueue_burst function will
+return 0 (thereby avoiding an MMIO) if the device is congested and number of packets
+possible to enqueue is smaller.
+To use this feature the user must set the parameter on process start as a device additional parameter::
+
+ -w 03:01.1,qat_sym_enq_threshold=32,qat_comp_enq_threshold=16
+
+All parameters can be used with the same device regardless of order. Parameters are separated
+by comma. When the same parameter is used more than once first occurrence of the parameter
+is used.
+Maximum threshold that can be set is 32.
+
+
+Device and driver naming
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* The qat cryptodev symmetric crypto driver name is "crypto_qat".
+* The qat cryptodev asymmetric crypto driver name is "crypto_qat_asym".
+
+The "rte_cryptodev_devices_get()" returns the devices exposed by either of these drivers.
+
+* Each qat sym crypto device has a unique name, in format
+ "<pci bdf>_<service>", e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_sym".
+* Each qat asym crypto device has a unique name, in format
+ "<pci bdf>_<service>", e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_asym".
+ This name can be passed to "rte_cryptodev_get_dev_id()" to get the device_id.
+
+.. Note::
+
+ The cryptodev driver name is passed to the dpdk-test-crypto-perf tool in the "-devtype" parameter.
+
+ The qat crypto device name is in the format of the worker parameter passed to the crypto scheduler.
+
+* The qat compressdev driver name is "compress_qat".
+ The rte_compressdev_devices_get() returns the devices exposed by this driver.
+
+* Each qat compression device has a unique name, in format
+ <pci bdf>_<service>, e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_comp".
+ This name can be passed to rte_compressdev_get_dev_id() to get the device_id.
+
+.. _qat_kernel:
+
+Dependency on the QAT kernel driver
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To use QAT an SRIOV-enabled QAT kernel driver is required. The VF
+devices created and initialised by this driver will be used by the QAT PMDs.
+
+Instructions for installation are below, but first an explanation of the
+relationships between the PF/VF devices and the PMDs visible to
+DPDK applications.
+
+Each QuickAssist PF device exposes a number of VF devices. Each VF device can
+enable one symmetric cryptodev PMD and/or one asymmetric cryptodev PMD and/or
+one compressdev PMD.
+These QAT PMDs share the same underlying device and pci-mgmt code, but are
+enumerated independently on their respective APIs and appear as independent
+devices to applications.
+
+.. Note::
+
+ Each VF can only be used by one DPDK process. It is not possible to share
+ the same VF across multiple processes, even if these processes are using
+ different acceleration services.
+
+ Conversely one DPDK process can use one or more QAT VFs and can expose both
+ cryptodev and compressdev instances on each of those VFs.

+Debugging
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are 2 sets of trace available via the dynamic logging feature:
+
+* pmd.qat_dp exposes trace on the data-path.
+* pmd.qat_general exposes all other trace.
+
+pmd.qat exposes both sets of traces.
+They can be enabled using the log-level option (where 8=maximum log level) on
+the process cmdline, e.g. using any of the following::
+
+ --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
+ --log-level="pmd.qat_dp,8"
+ --log-level="pmd.qat,8"
+
+.. Note::
+
+ The global RTE_LOG_DP_LEVEL overrides data-path trace so must be set to
+ RTE_LOG_DEBUG to see all the trace. This variable is in config/rte_config.h
+ for meson build and config/common_base for gnu make.
+ Also the dynamic global log level overrides both sets of trace, so e.g. no
+ QAT trace would display in this case::
+
+ --log-level="7" --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
