86.Sh DESCRIPTION
87Symmetric cryptographic drivers process cryptographic requests
88submitted to sessions associated with the driver.
89.Pp
90Cryptographic drivers call
91.Fn crypto_get_driverid
92to register with the cryptographic framework.
93.Fa dev
94is the device used to service requests.
95The
96.Fn CRYPTODEV
97methods are defined in the method table for the device driver attached to
98.Fa dev .
99.Fa session_size
100specifies the size of a driver-specific per-session structure allocated by
101the cryptographic framework.
102.Fa flags
103is a bitmask of properties about the driver.
104Exactly one of
105.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_SOFTWARE
106or
107.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_HARDWARE
108must be specified.
109.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_SOFTWARE
110should be used for drivers which process requests using host CPUs.
111.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_HARDWARE
112should be used for drivers which process requests on separate co-processors.
113.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_SYNC
114should be set for drivers which process requests synchronously in
115.Fn CRYPTODEV_PROCESS .
116.Dv CRYPTOCAP_F_ACCEL_SOFTWARE
117should be set for software drivers which use accelerated CPU instructions.
118.Fn crypto_get_driverid
119returns an opaque driver id.
120.Pp
121.Fn crypto_unregister_all
122unregisters a driver from the cryptographic framework.
123If there are any pending operations or open sessions,
124this function will sleep.
125.Fa driverid
126is the value returned by an earlier call to
127.Fn crypto_get_driverid .
128.Pp
129When a new session is created by
130.Fn crypto_newsession ,
131.Fn CRYPTODEV_PROBESESSION
132is invoked by the cryptographic framework on each active driver to
133determine the best driver to use for the session.
134This method should inspect the session parameters in
135.Fa csp .
136If a driver does not support requests described by
137.Fa csp ,
138this method should return an error value.
139If the driver does support requests described by
140.Fa csp ,
141it should return a negative value.
142The framework prefers drivers with the largest negative value,
143similar to
144.Xr DEVICE_PROBE 9 .
145The following values are defined for non-error return values from this
146method:
147.Bl -tag -width "CRYPTODEV_PROBE_ACCEL_SOFTWARE"
148.It Dv CRYPTODEV_PROBE_HARDWARE
149The driver processes requests via a co-processor.
150.It Dv CRYPTODEV_PROBE_ACCEL_SOFTWARE
151The driver processes requests on the host CPU using optimized instructions
152such as AES-NI.
153.It Dv CRYPTODEV_PROBE_SOFTWARE
154The driver processes requests on the host CPU.
155.El
156.Pp
157This method should not sleep.
158.Pp
159Once the framework has chosen a driver for a session,
160the framework invokes the
161.Fn CRYPTODEV_NEWSESSION
162method to initialize driver-specific session state.
163Prior to calling this method,
164the framework allocates a per-session driver-specific data structure.
165This structure is initialized with zeroes,
166and its size is set by the
167.Fa session_size
168passed to
169.Fn crypto_get_driverid .
170This method can retrieve a pointer to this data structure by passing
171.Fa crypto_session
172to
173.Fn crypto_get_driver_session .
174Session parameters are described in
175.Fa csp .
176.Pp
177This method should not sleep.
178.Pp
179.Fn CRYPTODEV_FREESESSION
180is invoked to release any driver-specific state when a session is
181destroyed.
182The per-session driver-specific data structure is explicitly zeroed
183and freed by the framework after this method returns.
184If a driver requires no additional tear-down steps, it can leave
185this method undefined.
186.Pp
187This method should not sleep.
188.Pp
189.Fn CRYPTODEV_PROCESS
190is invoked for each request submitted to an active session.
191This method can either complete a request synchronously or
192schedule it to be completed asynchronously,
193but it must not sleep.
194.Pp
195If this method is not able to complete a request due to insufficient
196resources such as a full command queue,
197it can defer the request by returning
198.Dv ERESTART .
199The request will be queued by the framework and retried once the
200driver releases pending requests via
201.Fn crypto_unblock .
202Any requests submitted to sessions belonging to the driver will also
203be queued until
204.Fn crypto_unblock
205is called.
206.Pp
207If a driver encounters errors while processing a request,
208it should report them via the
209.Fa crp_etype
210field of
211.Fa crp
212rather than returning an error directly.
213.Pp
214.Fa flags
215may be set to
216.Dv CRYPTO_HINT_MORE
217if there are additional requests queued for this driver.
218The driver can use this as a hint to batch completion interrupts.
219Note that these additional requests may be from different sessions.
220.Pp
221.Fn crypto_get_driver_session
222returns a pointer to the driver-specific per-session data structure
223for the session
224.Fa crypto_session .
225This function can be used in the
226.Fn CRYPTODEV_NEWSESSION ,
227.Fn CRYPTODEV_PROCESS ,
228and
229.Fn CRYPTODEV_FREESESSION
230callbacks.
231.Pp
232.Fn crypto_copydata
233copies
234.Fa size
235bytes out of the input buffer for
236.Fa crp
237into a local buffer pointed to by
238.Fa dst .
239The bytes are read starting at an offset of
240.Fa off
241bytes in the request's input buffer.
242.Pp
243.Fn crypto_copyback
244copies
245.Fa size
246bytes from the local buffer pointed to by
247.Fa src
248into the output buffer for
249.Fa crp .
250The bytes are written starting at an offset of
251.Fa off
252bytes in the request's output buffer.
253.Pp
254.Fn crypto_read_iv
255copies the IV or nonce for
256.Fa crp
257into the local buffer pointed to by
258.Fa iv .
259.Pp
260A driver calls
261.Fn crypto_done
262to mark the request
263.Fa crp
264as completed.
265Any errors should be set in
266.Fa crp_etype
267prior to calling this function.
268.Pp
269If a driver defers a request by returning
270.Dv ERESTART
271from
272.Dv CRYPTO_PROCESS ,
273the framework will queue all requests for the driver until the driver calls
274.Fn crypto_unblock
275to indicate that the temporary resource shortage has been relieved.
276For example,
277if a driver returns
278.Dv ERESTART
279due to a full command ring,
280it would invoke
281.Fn crypto_unblock
282from a command completion interrupt that makes a command ring entry available.
283.Fa driverid
284is the value returned by
285.Fn crypto_get_driverid .
286.Fa what
287indicates which types of requests the driver is able to handle again:
288.Bl -tag -width "CRYPTO_SYMQ"
289.It Dv CRYPTO_SYMQ
290indicates that the driver is able to handle symmetric requests passed to
291.Fn CRYPTODEV_PROCESS .
292.El
293.Pp
294.Fn hmac_init_ipad
295prepares an authentication context to generate the inner hash of an HMAC.
296.Fa axf
297is a software implementation of an authentication algorithm such as the
298value returned by
299.Fn crypto_auth_hash .
300.Fa key
301is a pointer to a HMAC key of
302.Fa klen
303bytes.
304.Fa auth_ctx
305points to a valid authentication context for the desired algorithm.
306The function initializes the context with the supplied key.
307.Pp
308.Fn hmac_init_opad
309is similar to
310.Fn hmac_init_ipad
311except that it prepares an authentication context to generate the
312outer hash of an HMAC.
313.Sh RETURN VALUES
314.Fn crypto_apply
315returns the return value from the caller-supplied callback function.
316.Pp
317.Fn crypto_contiguous_subsegment
318returns a pointer to a contiguous segment or
319.Dv NULL .
320.Pp
321.Fn crypto_get_driverid
322returns a driver identifier on success or -1 on error.
323.Pp
324.Fn crypto_unblock ,
325.Fn crypto_unregister_all ,
326.Fn CRYPTODEV_FREESESSION ,
327.Fn CRYPTODEV_NEWSESSION ,
328and
329.Fn CRYPTODEV_PROCESS
330return zero on success or an error on failure.
331.Pp
332.Fn CRYPTODEV_PROBESESSION
333returns a negative value on success or an error on failure.
