[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 10/20] crypto/dpaa2_sec: disable 'write-safe' for PDCP

From: Vakul Garg <vakul.garg at nxp.com>

PDCP descriptors in some cases internally use commands which overwrite
memory with extra '0s' if write-safe is kept enabled. This breaks
correct functional behavior of PDCP apis and they in many cases give
incorrect crypto output. There we disable 'write-safe' bit in FLC for
PDCP cases. If there is a performance drop, then write-safe would be
enabled selectively through a separate patch.
