rte_crypto_param_t(3)

✨ rte_crypto_param_t ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the rte_crypto_param_t(3) page from the DPDK Library Functions Manual 💖 this one is short but it's literally the little struct that carries your crypto vibes around, so let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

rte_crypto_param_t — the struct itself, no notes, just her 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <rte_crypto_asym.h>

🎀 Data Fields

uint8_t * data
rte_iova_t iova
size_t length

---

💅 Detailed Description 💅

so basically? it's a buffer to hold crypto params required for asym operations. she's not complicated, she's just necessary 🧚

these buffers can be used for both input to PMD and output from PMD. lowkey versatile, highkey important. but listen — when used for output from PMD, the application has to ensure the buffer is large enough to hold the target data. that's on you, not on her 🙈

and here's the spicy bit 🔥 if an operation requires the PMD to generate a random number, and the device supports CSRNG, then 'data' should be set to NULL. the crypto parameter in question will not be used by the PMD, as it is internally generated. so don't set it, don't stress about it, the PMD's got it handled 💖

fr fr, set 'data' to NULL in that CSRNG random-number case or you're just doing extra work for no reason 💀
