> Subject: [PATCH] doc: announce restructuring of crypto session structs
>
> The structures rte_cryptodev_sym_session and rte_cryptodev_asym_session are
> not used by the application directly. The application just need an opaque pointer
> which it can attach to rte_crypto_op while enqueue.
> Hence, these structures can be internal to library hidden from the user.
