From f4dc5af2628fd45aed5ae4cbaae5363e3fa16ddb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fan Zhang Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2019 16:34:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] doc: announce cryptodev xform API change This patch adds the deprecation notice of changing Cryptodev symmetric xform structure. The proposed change is to making key pointers in the crypto xforms (cipher, auth, aead) to indicate neither the library or the drivers will not change the content of the key buffer.
