Basically, a scheduling +mode defines certain actions for scheduling crypto ops to its slaves. + +The librte_pmd_crypto_scheduler library exports a C API which provides an API +for attaching/detaching slaves, set/get scheduling modes, and enable/disable +crypto ops reordering. + +Limitations +----------- + +* Sessionless crypto operation is not supported +* OOP crypto operation is not supported when the crypto op reordering feature + is enabled. + + +Installation +------------ + +To build DPDK with CRYTPO_SCHEDULER_PMD the user is required to set +CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_CRYPTO_SCHEDULER=y in config/common_base, and +recompile DPDK + + +Initialization +-------------- + +To use the PMD in an application, user must: + +* Call rte_eal_vdev_init("crpyto_scheduler") within the application. + +* Use --vdev="crpyto_scheduler" in the EAL options, which will call + rte_eal_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_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be + created. This value may be overwritten internally if there are too + many devices are attached. + +* slave: If a cryptodev has been initialized with specific name, it can be + attached to the scheduler using this parameter, simply filling the name + here. Multiple cryptodevs can be attached initially by presenting this + parameter multiple times. + +Example: + +.. code-block:: console + + ... --vdev "crypto_aesni_mb_pmd,name=aesni_mb_1" --vdev "crypto_aesni_mb_pmd,name=aesni_mb_2" --vdev "crypto_scheduler_pmd,slave=aesni_mb_1,slave=aesni_mb_2" ... + +.. note:: + + * The scheduler cryptodev cannot be started unless the scheduling mode + is set and at least one slave is attached. Also, to configure the + scheduler in the run-time, like attach/detach slave(s), change + scheduling mode, or enable/disable crypto op ordering, one should stop + the scheduler first, otherwise an error will be returned. + + * The crypto op reordering feature requires using the userdata field of + every mbuf to be processed to store temporary data. By the end of + processing, the field is set to pointing to NULL, any previously + stored value of this field will be lost. + + +Cryptodev Scheduler Modes Overview +---------------------------------- + +Currently the Crypto Scheduler PMD library supports following modes of +operation: + +* **CDEV_SCHED_MODE_ROUNDROBIN:** + + Round-robin mode, which distributes the enqueued burst of crypto ops + among its slaves in a round-robin manner. This mode may help to fill + the throughput gap between the physical core and the existing cryptodevs + to increase the overall performance.
