Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/21/22. 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

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/8a5b2e74e77f8c180f59eddd4a1a36c02eb7ead3

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] cryptodev: fix clang C++ include

[ upstream commit 1763c91b06ca65bbb8516f47b97cffe1cac97dde ]

When compiling on FreeBSD with clang and include checking enabled,
errors are emitted due to differences in how empty structs/unions are
handled in C and C++, as C++ structs cannot have zero size.

lib/cryptodev/rte_crypto.h:127:2: error:
union has size 0 in C, non-zero size in C++

Since the contents of the union are all themselves of zero size,
the actual union wrapper is unnecessary. We therefore remove it for C++
builds - though keep it for C builds for safety and clarity of
understanding the code.

Fixes: c0f87eb5252b ("cryptodev: change burst API to be crypto op oriented")
Fixes: d2a4223c4c6d ("cryptodev: do not store pointer to op specific params")
