> Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: announce API changes in crypto library
> 
> API changes are planned for 17.08 to made sessions agnostic to the
> underlaying devices, removing coupling with crypto PMDs, so a single
> session can be used on multiple devices.
> 
> It requires to change "struct rte_cryptodev_sym_session" to store more
> than one private data for devices, as well as remove redundant dev_id
> and dev_type.
> 
> Effected public functions:
> 
>  - rte_cryptodev_sym_session_pool_create
>  - rte_cryptodev_sym_session_create
>  - rte_cryptodev_sym_session_free
> 
> While session will not be directly associated with device, followed API
> will be changed adding uint8_t dev_id to the argument list:
> 
>  - rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session
>  - rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_detach_sym_session
