Detailed Description

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

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

Definition in file rte_ipsec_sa.h.

Macro Definition Documentation

#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

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_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_experimental int rte_ipsec_sa_size ( const struct rte_ipsec_sa_prm prm)

Calculate required SA size based on provided input parameters.

Parameters
prmParameters 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_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
saSA object to initialise.
prmParameters used to initialise given SA object.
sizesize 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_experimental void rte_ipsec_sa_fini ( struct rte_ipsec_sa *  sa)

cleanup SA

Parameters
saPointer to SA object to de-initialize.
