[Ocf-linux-users] OCF compatible driver for HiFN Xcellerator Card 8155HXL-G

[hiren j. <jos...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am having a HiFN Xcellerator Card 8155HXL-G (DS250 - DS255 series).
I want to use this card with Openswan/KLIPS via OCF.

        * Makefile, hifn/Makefile, hifn/hifnHIPP.c, hifn/hifnHIPPreg.h,
        hifn/hifnHIPPvar.h, ixp4xx/Makefile, ocfnull/Makefile,
        safe/Makefile, talitos/Makefile:

        Bring in the hifnHIPP driver written by Xelerance.  This is the
        super hifn chip with full protocol offload.

So I think my card - 8155 (which belongs to HIPP-I/II family) is supported.

However I noted that in the HIPP driver file
(ocf-linux-20080917/ocf/hifn/hifnHIPP.c),
the call to crypto_register is commented out:

#if 0 /* no code here yet ?? */
	crypto_register(sc->sc_cid, CRYPTO_3DES_CBC, 0, 0);
#endif

Also, the callback functions hipp_newsession, hipp_process and
hipp_freesession just return EINVAL, and there is no crypto_done, crypto_kdone.

So I am just curious about the state of this driver.

Please guide me about how should I approach to use this card with OCF
for Openswan.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
hiren
