Cover letter [RFC 0/2] IB/core: Add ESP Crypto Flow Steering support
From: borisp <borisp-VPRAkNaXOzVWk0Htik3J/[email protected]>
The purpose of this RFC is to suggest an API for specifying ESP crypto offload via flow steering. This API will allow users to control the crypto offload functionality offered by new NICs, such as Mellanox Innova IPsec.
Applications can request ESP encryption offload for transmission of well-formed plaintext ESP packets, or decryption offload for well-fromed ciphertext ESP packets. Packets are encrypted/decrypted according to the direction of the flow.
In order to create an ESP crypto offload specification, the user has to add it to a flow with the Security Association selectors.
