[RFC 0/2] IB/core: Add ESP Crypto Flow Steering support

[RFC 0/2] IB/core: Add ESP Crypto Flow Steering support

[Boris Pismenny]

From: borisp <borisp-VPRAkNaXOzVWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>

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.

[RFC 1/2] Introduce egress IB flow steering flag

[Boris Pismenny]

From: borisp <borisp-VPRAkNaXOzVWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>

This commit introduces egress flow steering. Egress flow steering
is useful for specifying actions that might be applied by hardware
to outgoing flows on a specific QP.

How will user know which flow actions are applicable for egress traffic,
for both ingress/egress and for ingress only?

I think separate structure for ingress vs. egress are better approach,
than blind global flag.

Please configure your git, "Signed-off-by" line is a legal document and
supposed to have proper author name.

The implementation could return an error when a device doesn't support a certain action.
For example, we may not support crypto offload for encapsulation of IPsec packets, and we
will return an error if such a flow specification is provided.

Did you have any specific action that is not supported in some direction? AFAIK, we 
support all action for egress as well as ingress.

I thought of using a direction flag in the action itself, but decided against it , because all flow
specification refer to a certain direction and not the action alone. Moreover, there are other
actions that will be based on this flag, like encapsulation actions.

[RFC 2/2] IB/core: ESP AES-GCM crypto offload action

[Boris Pismenny]

From: borisp <borisp-VPRAkNaXOzVWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>

This patch introduces the flow steering specification for IPsec
AES-GCM crypto offload to HW. If a user creates a flow with
this specification, then all packets that hit this flow will
have their payload encrypted and authenticated according to
the key and the salt in this specification as defined in RFC4303.

Hey Boris,  

Do you have any applications that utilize this and other flow steering APIs?  It
would be nice to see example usage. 

Steve.

Our DPDK PMD already utilizes flow steering and it will use this API.

Also, we have support for this offload in XFRM, but it doesn't use flow steering at the moment. In the future, XFRM NDO will use flow steering through our driver.
Patches for the kernel XFRM code can be found here:	
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/752707/
Our driver support for this framework in XFRM can be found here:
https://github.com/Mellanox/ipsec-offload
XFRM is programmed with iproute2. You can find code for it here:

Your patches didn't change any uapi headers - how does this get
exported to user space?

Right. Sorry about that. The intent is to export both ib_flow_spec_action_esp_aes_gcm and
ib_flow_spec_esp to user space.
