[dpdk-stable] patch 'examples/ipsec-secgw: fix GCM IV length' has been queued to LTS release 18.11.6

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/16/19. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/ad214b1dc868df16101fc60a669eb1608ff2212a

Thanks.

Kevin.

Subject: [PATCH] examples/ipsec-secgw: fix GCM IV length

[ upstream commit ce00b504f19896604d60d121008b8a2df48ef114 ]

The example IPsec application does not work properly when using
AES-GCM with crypto_openssl.

ESP with AES-GCM uses standard 96bit long algorithm IV ([1]) which
later concatenated with be32(1) forms a J0 block. GCM specification
([2], chapter 7.1) states that when length of IV is different than
96b, in order to format a J0 block, GHASH function must be used.

According to specification ([2], chapter 5.1.1) GCM implementations
should support standard 96bit IVs, other lengths are optional. Every
DPDK cryptodev supports 96bit IV and few of them supports 128bit
IV as well (openssl, mrvl, ccp). When passing iv::length=16 to a
cryptodev which does support standard IVs only (e.g. qat) it
implicitly uses starting 96 bits. On the other hand, openssl follows
specification and uses GHASH to compute J0 for that case which results
in different than expected J0 values used for encryption/decryption.

Fix an inability to use AES-GCM with crypto_openssl by changing IV
length to the standard value of 12.
