Commit Message

Akhil Goyal Sept. 26, 2023, 7:19 a.m. UTC
  rte_security_ctx is used by all security APIs to identify
which device security_op it need to call and hence it should
be opaque to the application.
Hence, it is now moved to internal header file and all
APIs will now take an opaque pointer for it.
The fast path inline APIs like set metadata need to get flags
from security_ctx. The flags are now retrieved using inline APIs
which use macros to get the offset of flags in security_ctx.
