DPDK/app/test/test_cryptodev.c: In function 'test_snow3g_encrypted_authenti
cation.clone.3':
DPDK/x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc/include/rte_memcpy.h:796:14: error: array
subscript is above array bounds
compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors.


ROOT OF PROBLEM:
----------------

In lines like:

    rte_memcpy(sym_op->cipher.iv.data, iv, iv_len);

when "iv" is 64 bytes long array, and "iv_len" is "unsigned int",
compiler tries to evaluate also a code for array size larger than 255 bytes
long and reports error "array subscript is above array bounds" in line:

rte_memcpy.h:796

    rte_mov128((uint8_t *)dst + 128, (const uint8_t *)src + 128);

caused by evaluation to:

    rte_mov128((uint8_t *)sym_op->cipher.iv.data + 128, (const uint8_t *)iv
			+ 128);

where "iv" is 64 bytes long buffer and "iv + 128" point out of it, gcc 4.5.


SOLUTION:
---------

Using uint8_t as a size of copied block prevents to evaluate in rte_memcpy
code for size bigger than 255, causing the problem.
