It completes the new +APIs that are part of the Tiger Moth Long Term Support (LTS) release of ODP +as well as various performance refinements and bug fixes. As of RC2 the ODP +API is now frozen for the Tiger Moth development series. + +==== APIs +The following new and changed APIs are included in this release: + +===== Addition of Shared Memory (SHM) Initialization Parameters +The `odp_init_t` struct used as the argument to the `odp_init_global()` API +has been expanded to include a `max_memory` field that specifies the maximum +amount of shared memory (shm) that the application will use. This is to +better enable ODP implementations to optimize their use of shared memory in +support of the application. If left as (or defaulted) to 0, the implementation +may choose a default limit for the application. + +===== Crypto Changes +A number of crypto refinements are included in this release: + +* The single initialization vector (`iv`) in the `odp_crypto_session_param_t` +is replaced by a separate `cipher_iv` and `auth_iv` fields. + +* The single initialization vector (`override_iv_ptr`) in the +`odp_crypto_op_param_t` is replaced by a separate `cipher_iv_ptr` and +`auth_iv_ptr` fields. + +* The special nature of GCM and GMAC cipher and authentication algorithms is
Comment: Here and below. GCM, CCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305 are not "cipher and authentication" algorithms. They are "authenticated encryption" modes/algorithms. > Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov(lumag) wrote: > It should be noted, that there are/might be implementations that do not > provide null PktIO https://github.com/Linaro/odp/pull/500#discussion_r170590931 updated_at 2018-02-26 13:33:12
