[dpdk-dev] [dpdk-dev v3 0/3] cryptodev: add symmetric crypto data-path APIs

[Fan Zhang]

This patch adds symmetric crypto data-path APIs for Cryptodev. Direct
symmetric crypto data-path APIs are a set of APIs that provide
more HW friendly enqueue/dequeue data-path functions as an alternative
approach to ``rte_cryptodev_enqueue_burst`` and
``rte_cryptodev_dequeue_burst``. The APIs are designed for external
libraries/applications that want to use Cryptodev as symmetric crypto
data-path accelerator but not necessarily mbuf data-path centric. With
the APIs the cycle cost spent on conversion from their data structure to
DPDK cryptodev operations/mbufs can be reduced, and the dependency on DPDK
crypto operation mempool can be relieved.

It is expected that the user can develop close-to-native performance
symmetric crypto data-path implementations with the functions provided
in this patchset.
