32MVSAM Crypto Poll Mode Driver
33=============================
34
35The MVSAM CRYPTO PMD (**librte_crypto_mvsam_pmd**) provides poll mode crypto driver
36support by utilizing MUSDK library, which provides cryptographic operations
37acceleration by using Security Acceleration Engine (EIP197) directly from
38user-space with minimum overhead and high performance.

84
85Limitations
86-----------
87
88* Hardware only supports scenarios where ICV (digest buffer) is placed just
89  after the authenticated data. Other placement will result in error.
90
91Installation
92------------
93
94MVSAM CRYPTO PMD driver compilation is disabled by default due to external dependencies.
95Currently there are two driver specific compilation options in
96``config/common_base`` available:
97
98- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_MVSAM_CRYPTO`` (default: ``n``)
99
100    Toggle compilation of the librte_pmd_mvsam driver.
101
102MVSAM CRYPTO PMD requires MUSDK built with EIP197 support thus following
103extra option must be passed to the library configuration script:
104
105.. code-block:: console
106
107   --enable-sam [--enable-sam-statistics] [--enable-sam-debug]
108
109For instructions how to build required kernel modules please refer
110to `doc/musdk_get_started.txt`.
111
112Initialization
113--------------
114
115After successfully building MVSAM CRYPTO PMD, the following modules need to be
116loaded:
117
118.. code-block:: console
119
120   insmod musdk_cma.ko
121   insmod crypto_safexcel.ko rings=0,0
122   insmod mv_sam_uio.ko
123
124The following parameters (all optional) are exported by the driver:
125
126- ``max_nb_queue_pairs``: maximum number of queue pairs in the device (default: 8 - A8K, 4 - A7K/A3K).
127- ``max_nb_sessions``: maximum number of sessions that can be created (default: 2048).
128- ``socket_id``: socket on which to allocate the device resources on.
129
130l2fwd-crypto example application can be used to verify MVSAM CRYPTO PMD
131operation:
132
133.. code-block:: console
134
135   ./l2fwd-crypto --vdev=eth_mvpp2,iface=eth0 --vdev=crypto_mvsam -- \
136     --cipher_op ENCRYPT --cipher_algo aes-cbc \
137     --cipher_key 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f  \
138     --auth_op GENERATE --auth_algo sha1-hmac \
139     --auth_key 10:11:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19:1a:1b:1c:1d:1e:1f
