  This patch introduce new RTE_SECURITY_ACTION_TYPE_CPU_CRYPTO action type to
security library. The type represents performing crypto operation with CPU
cycles. The patch also includes a new API to process crypto operations in
bulk and the function pointers for PMDs.

Need to specify what are expected status values.
I suppose zero for success, negative errno for some error happens?

though you are naming it cpu crypto, but it is more like raw packet 
crypto, where you want to skip mbuf/crypto ops and directly wants to 
work on raw buffer.

Just wondering if you want to change it to *in_vec and *out_vec, that 
will be helpful in future, if the out-of-place processing is required 
for CPU usecase as well?

Why not make the return as int, to indicate whether this API completely 
failed or processed or have some valid status to look into?

Yes, but we do wat to do that (skip mbuf/crypto ops and use raw buffer),
because this API is destined for SW backed implementation.
For that case crypto-ops , mbuf, enqueue/dequeue are just unnecessary overhead.

I suppose this is doable, though right now we don't plan to support such model.

I agree, we are also planning to take advantage of it for some specific

I have another suggestions w.r.t iv, aad, digest etc. Why not put them 
in a structure, so that you will

be able to add/remove the variable without breaking the API prototype.

Just to confirm, you are talking about something like:

struct rte_security_vec {
   struct iovec *vec;
   uint32_t num;
};

struct rte_security_sym_vec {
      struct rte_security_vec buf;
      void *iv;
      void *aad;
      void *digest;
};

rte_security_process_cpu_crypto_bulk(struct rte_security_ctx *instance,
	struct rte_security_session *sess, struct rte_security_sym_vec buf[],
               int status[], uint32_t num);

?
We thought about such way, though for PMD it would be
more plausible to have same type of params grouped together,
i.e. void *in[], void *out[], void *digest[], ...
Another thing - above grouping wouldn't help to avoid ABI breakage,
in case we'll need to add new field into rte_security_sym_vec
(though it might help to avoid API breakage).

In theory other way is also possible:
struct rte_security_sym_vec {
      struct rte_security_vec *buf;
      void **iv;
      void **aad;
      void **digest;
};

rte_security_process_cpu_crypto_bulk(struct rte_security_ctx *instance,
	struct rte_security_session *sess, struct rte_security_sym_vec *buf,
               int status[], uint32_t num);

And that might help for both ABI and API stability, 
but it looks really weird that way (at least to me).
Also this API is experimental and I suppose needs to stay experimental for
few releases before we are sure nothing important is missing,
so probably API/ABI stability is not that high concern for it right now.

[Hemant] My idea is:
 struct rte_security_vec {
    struct iovec *vec;
    struct iovec *out_vec;
    uint32_t num_in;
    uint32_t num_out; 
};

[Hemant]  or leave the rte_security_vec altogether and make it part of rte_security_sym_vec itself.
