That allows upper layer to easily associate some user defined data with the session. Proposed new layout for: struct rte_security_session { void *sess_private_data; /**< Private session material */ + uint64_t opaque_data; + /**< Opaque user defined data */ }; Signed-off-by: Konstantin Ananyev Acked-by: Mohammad Abdul Awal Acked-by: Fan Zhang Acked-by: Akhil Goyal --- diff --git a/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst b/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst index 27ede77f02..82f7b37ddb 100644 --- a/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst +++ b/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst @@ -75,6 +75,10 @@ Deprecation Notices - Member ``uint16_t min_mtu`` the minimum MTU allowed. - Member ``uint16_t max_mtu`` the maximum MTU allowed. +* security: New field ``uint64_t opaque_data`` is planned to be added into + ``rte_security_session`` structure.
