Detailed Description

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

Defines API to manage IPsec Security Association (SA) objects.

Macro Definition Documentation

RTE_IPSEC_SAFLAG_SQN_ATOM

#define RTE_IPSEC_SAFLAG_SQN_ATOM   (1ULL << 0)

Indicates that SA will(/will not) need an 'atomic' access to sequence number and replay window. 'atomic' here means: functions:

• rte_ipsec_pkt_crypto_prepare
• rte_ipsec_pkt_process can be safely used in MT environment, as long as the user can guarantee that they obey multiple readers/single writer model for SQN+replay_window operations. To be more specific: for outbound SA there are no restrictions. for inbound SA the caller has to guarantee that at any given moment only one thread is executing rte_ipsec_pkt_process() for given SA. Note that it is caller responsibility to maintain correct order of packets to be processed. In other words - it is a caller responsibility to serialize process() invocations.

Enumeration Type Documentation

anonymous enum

anonymous enum

SA type is an 64-bit value that contain the following information:

• IP version (IPv4/IPv6)
• IPsec proto (ESP/AH)
• inbound/outbound
• mode (TRANSPORT/TUNNEL)
• for TUNNEL outer IP version (IPv4/IPv6)
• are SA SQN operations 'atomic'
• ESN enabled/disabled ...

Function Documentation

rte_ipsec_sa_type()

__rte_experimental uint64_t rte_ipsec_sa_type

(

const struct rte_ipsec_sa *

sa

)

get type of given SA

Returns

SA type value.

Examples:

examples/ipsec-secgw/ipsec_process.c.

rte_ipsec_sa_size()

__rte_experimental int rte_ipsec_sa_size

(

const struct rte_ipsec_sa_prm *

prm

)

Calculate required SA size based on provided input parameters.

Parameters

prm	Parameters that will be used to initialise SA object.

Returns

• Actual size required for SA with given parameters.
• -EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.

Examples:

examples/ipsec-secgw/sa.c.

rte_ipsec_sa_init()

__rte_experimental int rte_ipsec_sa_init	(	struct rte_ipsec_sa *	sa,
		const struct rte_ipsec_sa_prm *	prm,
		uint32_t	size
	)

initialise SA based on provided input parameters.

Parameters

sa	SA object to initialise.
prm	Parameters used to initialise given SA object.
size	size of the provided buffer for SA.

Returns

• Actual size of SA object if operation completed successfully.
• -EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
• -ENOSPC if the size of the provided buffer is not big enough.

Examples:

examples/ipsec-secgw/sa.c.

rte_ipsec_sa_fini()

__rte_experimental void rte_ipsec_sa_fini

(

struct rte_ipsec_sa *

sa

)

cleanup SA

Parameters

sa	Pointer to SA object to de-initialize.
