NAME

mlx5dv_crypto_login - Creates a crypto login session

mlx5dv_crypto_login_query_state - Queries the state of the current crypto login session

mlx5dv_crypto_logout - Logs out from the current crypto login session

SYNOPSIS

#include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h>
int mlx5dv_crypto_login(struct ibv_context *context,


            struct mlx5dv_crypto_login_attr *login_attr);
int mlx5dv_crypto_login_query_state(struct ibv_context *context,


                    enum mlx5dv_crypto_login_state *state);
int mlx5dv_crypto_logout(struct ibv_context *context);

DESCRIPTION

When using a crypto engine that is in wrapped import method, an active crypto login session must be present in order to create and query Data Encryption Keys (DEKs).

mlx5dv_crypto_login() Creates a crypto login session with the credential given in login_attr and associates it with context. Only one active crypto login session can be associated per device context.

mlx5dv_crypto_login_query_state() queries the state of the crypto login session associated with context and returns the state in state, which indicates whether it is valid, invalid or doesn’t exist. A valid crypto login session can become invalid if the credential or the import KEK used in the crypto login session were deleted during the login session (for example by a crypto officer). In this case, mlx5dv_crypto_logout() should be called to destroy the current invalid crypto login session and if still necessary, mlx5dv_crypto_login() should be called to create a new crypto login session with valid credential and import KEK.

mlx5dv_crypto_logout() logs out from the current crypto login session associated with context.

Existing DEKs that were previously loaded to the device during a crypto login session don’t need an active crypto login session in order to be used (in MKey or during traffic).

ARGUMENTS

context

The device context to associate the crypto login session with.

login_attr

Crypto login attributes specify the credential to login with and the import KEK to be used for secured communications during the crypto login session.

struct mlx5dv_crypto_login_attr {


    uint32_t credential_id;


    uint32_t import_kek_id;


    char credential[48];


    uint64_t comp_mask;
};
An ID of a credential, from the credentials stored on the device, that indicates the credential that should be validated against the credential provided in credential.
An ID of an import KEK, from the import KEKs stored on the device, that indicates the import KEK that will be used for unwrapping the credential provided in credential and also for all other secured communications during the crypto login session.
The credential to login with. Must be provided wrapped by the AES key wrap algorithm using the import KEK indicated by import_kek_id.
Reserved For future extension, must be 0 now.

state

Indicates the state of the current crypto login session. can be one of MLX5DV_CRYPTO_LOGIN_STATE_VALID, MLX5DV_CRYPTO_LOGIN_STATE_NO_LOGIN and MLX5DV_CRYPTO_LOGIN_STATE_INVALID.

RETURN VALUE

mlx5dv_crypto_login() returns 0 on success and errno value on error.

mlx5dv_crypto_login_query_state() returns 0 on success and updates state with the queried state. On error, errno value is returned.

mlx5dv_crypto_logout() returns 0 on success and errno value on error.

ERRORS

A crypto login session already exists.
Invalid attributes were provided, or one or more of credential, credential_id and import_kek_id are invalid.
No crypto login session exists.
