  Enabling crypto devs to specify the minimum headroom and tailroom it
expects in the mbuf. For net PMDs, standard headroom has to be honoured
by applications, which is not strictly followed for crypto devs. This
prevents crypto devs from using free space in mbuf (available as
head/tailroom) for internal requirements in crypto operations. Addition
of head/tailroom requirement will help PMDs to communicate such
requirements to the application.

The availability and use of head/tailroom is an optimization if the
hardware supports use of head/tailroom for crypto-op info. For devices
that do not support using the head/tailroom, they can continue to operate
without any performance-drop.

v1:
* Removed deprecation notice
* Updated release note
* Renamed new fields to have 'mbuf' in the name
* Changed the type of new fields to uint16_t (instead of uint32_t)

I think the "cryptodev scheduler PMD" needs changes to take these new parameters into consideration.
Scheduler_pmd_info_get should return the maximum number of these two fields on all the slaves
(like what's done with max number of sessions).

We need to close the subtree today, with all API changes done. Will you have time to make this change today?

Thanks!
Pablo

Hi Pablo,

I'll look into this and will give you an updated patch.

Thanks,
Anoob
