AES-NI GCM Crypto Poll Mode Driver -============================================ +================================== -The AES-NI GCM PMD (**librte_pmd_aesni_gcm**) provides poll mode crypto driver +The AES-NI GCM PMD (**librte_crypto_aesni_gcm**) provides poll mode crypto driver support for utilizing Intel multi buffer library (see AES-NI Multi-buffer PMD documentation to learn more about it, including installation). -The AES-NI GCM PMD has current only been tested on Fedora 21 64-bit with gcc. +The AES-NI GCM PMD supports synchronous mode of operation with +``rte_cryptodev_sym_cpu_crypto_process`` function call for both AES-GCM and +GMAC, however GMAC support is limited to one segment per operation. Please +refer to ``rte_crypto`` programmer's guide for more detail. Features -------- AESNI GCM PMD has support for: -Cipher algorithms: +Authentication algorithms: -* RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_GCM +* RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_AES_GMAC -Authentication algorithms: +AEAD algorithms: -* RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_AES_GCM +* RTE_CRYPTO_AEAD_AES_GCM Limitations ----------- -* Chained mbufs are not supported. -* Hash only is not supported. +* In out-of-place operations, chained destination mbufs are not supported. * Cipher only is not supported. -* Only in-place is currently supported (destination address is the same as source address). -* Only supports session-oriented API implementation (session-less APIs are not supported). -* Not performance tuned. - -The environmental variable -AESNI_MULTI_BUFFER_LIB_PATH must be exported with the path where you extracted -and built the multi buffer library and finally set -CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_AESNI_GCM=y in config/common_base. + + +Installation +------------ + +To build DPDK with the AESNI_GCM_PMD the user is required to download the multi-buffer +library from `here `_ +and compile it on their user system before building DPDK. +The latest version of the library supported by this PMD is v1.0, which +can be downloaded in ``_. + +.. code-block:: console + + make + make install + +The library requires NASM to be built. Depending on the library version, it might +require a minimum NASM version (e.g. v0.54 requires at least NASM 2.14). + +NASM is packaged for different OS. However, on some OS the version is too old, +so a manual installation is required. In that case, NASM can be downloaded from +`NASM website `_. +Once it is downloaded, extract it and follow these steps: + +.. code-block:: console + + ./configure + make + make install + +.. note:: + + Compilation of the Multi-Buffer library is broken when GCC < 5.0, if library <= v0.53. + If a lower GCC version than 5.0, the workaround proposed by the following link + should be used: ``_. + + +As a reference, the following table shows a mapping between the past DPDK versions +and the external crypto libraries supported by them: + +.. _table_aesni_gcm_versions: + +.. table:: DPDK and external crypto library version compatibility + + ============= ================================ + DPDK version Crypto library version + ============= ================================ + 16.04 - 16.11 Multi-buffer library 0.43 - 0.44 + 17.02 - 17.05 ISA-L Crypto v2.18 + 17.08 - 18.02 Multi-buffer library 0.46 - 0.48 + 18.05 - 19.02 Multi-buffer library 0.49 - 0.52 + 19.05+ Multi-buffer library 0.52 - 1.0 + ============= ================================ + + +Initialization +-------------- + +In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must: + +* Build the multi buffer library (explained in Installation section). + +To use the PMD in an application, user must: + +* Call rte_vdev_init("crypto_aesni_gcm") within the application. + +* Use --vdev="crypto_aesni_gcm" in the EAL options, which will call rte_vdev_init() internally. + +The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls: + +* socket_id: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated + (by default, socket_id will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on). + +* max_nb_queue_pairs: Specify the maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default). + +* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default). + +Example: + +.. code-block:: console + + ./dpdk-l2fwd-crypto -l 1 -n 4 --vdev="crypto_aesni_gcm,socket_id=0,max_nb_sessions=128" \ + -- -p 1 --cdev SW --chain AEAD --aead_algo "aes-gcm"
