From 72bdb18dd60124e8d7221fa3f574d6f98997c6c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hemant Agrawal <hemant.agrawal@nxp.com> Date: Thu, 5 Aug 2021 19:25:29 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] doc: announce changes in crypto raw data vector The current crypto raw data vectors need to be extended to support out of place processing. It is proposed to add additional desl_sgl to provide details for destination sgl. The same is also extended to support rte_security usecases, where we need total data length to know how much additional memory space is available in buffer other than data length so that driver/HW can write expanded size data after encryption.
