22. UADK Crypto Poll Mode Driver

This code provides the initial implementation of the UADK poll mode driver. All cryptographic operations are using UADK library crypto API, which is algorithm level API, abstracting accelerators’ low level implementations.

UADK crypto PMD relies on UADK library.

UADK is a framework for user applications to access hardware accelerators. UADK relies on IOMMU SVA (Shared Virtual Address) feature, which share the same page table between IOMMU and MMU. As a result, user application can directly use virtual address for device DMA, which enhances the performance as well as easy usability.

22.1. Features

UADK crypto PMD has support for:

Cipher algorithms:

  • RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_ECB

  • RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_CBC

  • RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_XTS

  • RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_DES_CBC

Hash algorithms:

  • RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_MD5

  • RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_MD5_HMAC

  • RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA1

  • RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA1_HMAC

  • RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA224

  • RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA224_HMAC

  • RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA256

  • RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA256_HMAC

  • RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA384

  • RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA384_HMAC

  • RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA512

  • RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA512_HMAC

22.2. Test steps

  1. Build UADK

    git clone https://github.com/Linaro/uadk.git
cd uadk
mkdir build
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$PWD/build
make
make install

    Note

    Without --prefix, UADK will be installed to /usr/local/lib by default.

    Note

    If get error: “cannot find -lnuma”, please install the libnuma-dev.

  2. Run pkg-config libwd to ensure env is setup correctly

    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PWD/build/lib/pkgconfig
pkg-config libwd --cflags --libs -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lwd

    Note

    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH is required on demand, not needed if UADK is installed to /usr/local/lib.

  3. Build DPDK

    cd dpdk
mkdir build
meson setup build (--reconfigure)
cd build
ninja
sudo ninja install

  4. Prepare hugepages for DPDK (see also dpdk-hugepages Application)

    echo 1024 > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
echo 1024 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
echo 1024 > /sys/devices/system/node/node2/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
echo 1024 > /sys/devices/system/node/node3/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
mkdir -p /mnt/huge_2mb
mount -t hugetlbfs none /mnt/huge_2mb -o pagesize=2MB

  5. Run test app

    sudo dpdk-test --vdev=crypto_uadk --log-level=6
RTE>>cryptodev_uadk_autotest
RTE>>quit
