[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] examples/ipsec-secgw: fix pool usage for security session

[Ananyev, Konstantin]

Hi Akhil,

> Currently, two separate mempools are being used for creating crypto
> sessions and its private data.
> crypto sessions are created and initialized separately, so a separate
> mempool is passed to each API, but in case of security sessions, where
> only one API create and initialize the private data as well.
> So if session mempool is passed to create a security session, the
> mempool element size is not sufficient enough to hold the private
> data as well.
> As a perfect solution, the security session create API should take 2
> mempools for header and private data and initiatlize accordingly,
> but that would mean an API breakage, which will be done in the next
> release cycle. So introducing this patch as a workaround to resolve this
> issue.

Looks good to me , but seems incomplete.
I think we also need to:
static int32_t
cryptodevs_init(void)
{
   ...

        /* create session pools for eth devices that implement security */
        RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV(port_id) {
                if ((enabled_port_mask & (1 << port_id)) &&
                                rte_eth_dev_get_sec_ctx(port_id)) {
                        int socket_id = rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port_id);

  -                      if (!socket_ctx[socket_id].session_pool) {
 +                      if (!socket_ctx[socket_id].session_priv_pool) {
                                char mp_name[RTE_MEMPOOL_NAMESIZE];
                                struct rte_mempool *sess_mp;

                                snprintf(mp_name, RTE_MEMPOOL_NAMESIZE,
                                                "sess_mp_%u", socket_id);
                                sess_mp = rte_mempool_create(mp_name,
                                                (CDEV_MP_NB_OBJS * 2),
                                                max_sess_sz,
                                                CDEV_MP_CACHE_SZ,
                                                0, NULL, NULL, NULL,
                                                NULL, socket_id,
                                                0);
                                if (sess_mp == NULL)
                                        rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
                                                "Cannot create session pool "
                                                "on socket %d\n", socket_id);
                                else
                                        printf("Allocated session pool "
                                                "on socket %d\n", socket_id);
-                               socket_ctx[socket_id].session_pool = sess_mp;
+                               socket_ctx[socket_id].session_priv_pool = sess_mp;

                        }
                }
        }
