Subject: [PATCH net-next v11 0/6] tls: Add TLS 1.3 hardware offload support
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 10:37:51 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331163757.149343-1-rjethwani@purestorage.com> (raw)
Hi all,
This series adds TLS 1.3 hardware offload support including KeyUpdate
(rekey) and a selftest for validation.
Patch 1: Reject TLS 1.3 offload in chcr_ktls and nfp drivers
These drivers only support TLS 1.2; add explicit version check.
Patch 2: mlx5e TLS 1.3 hardware offload
Add TLS 1.3 TX/RX offload on ConnectX-6 Dx and newer.
Handle 12-byte IV format and TLS_1_3 context type.
Patch 3: Core TLS 1.3 hardware offload support
Extend tls_device.c for TLS 1.3 record format (content type
appended before tag). Handle TLS 1.3 IV construction in fallback.
Patch 4: Split tls_set_sw_offload into init/finalize
Allows HW RX path to init SW context, attempt HW setup, then
finalize. Required for proper rekey error handling.
Patch 5: Hardware offload key update (rekey) support
Delete old HW context and add new one with updated key.
Track ACKs to ensure old-key data is flushed before HW switch.
Patch 6: Selftest for hardware offload
Python wrapper + C binary using NetDrvEpEnv framework.
Tests TLS 1.2/1.3, AES-GCM-128/256, rekey, various buffer sizes.
Tested on Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx (Crypto Enabled) with TLS 1.3 AES-GCM-128/256
and multiple rekey cycles.
Changes in v11:
- tls_device_complete_rekey(): flush pending open_rec (from MSG_MORE)
via tls_sw_push_pending_record() before switching back to HW offload.
Without this, data in an open SW record would be silently lost when
the AEAD cipher is freed.
- Selftest: enforce MIN_BUF_SIZE (16 bytes) on both client and server
receive buffers to prevent KeyUpdate handshake message truncation
with small -b values.
Changes in v10:
- Drop rekey_complete_seq; simplify clean_acked to set REKEY_READY
once acked_seq >= boundary_seq.
- Flush pending SW records (tls_encrypt_async_wait + tls_tx_records)
at start of complete_rekey; return -EAGAIN if send buffer full.
- Add start_marker_record + tcp_write_collapse_fence() in
complete_rekey so the NIC passes through SW-encrypted data
(including retransmits) before the HW boundary.
- Fix flag clearing order: PENDING before READY with
smp_mb__after_atomic() to prevent clean_acked race.
- Use crypto_free_aead() instead of tls_sw_release_resources_tx().
- mlx5: fix reverse Christmas tree variable ordering.
