Hi David, I was testing OCF with SafeXcel 1141 card. Just wanted to know which version of the 1141 card you tested OCF with i.e. REV1 or REV1.1. -- Nawang Chhetan Software Engineer SafeNet India. |

I think I have used both as I had to work around a bug in version1 IIRC. I have also used the 1741. Note that none of these were cards, but PCI chips on an embedded board, but they look like cards ;-) Cheers, Davidm -- David McCullough, dav...@se..., Ph:+61 734352815 Secure Computing - SnapGear http://www.uCdot.org http://www.cyberguard.com |

Hi David, I am trying to run "bench-ocf" with safe.ko . I dont see any debug messages( I insert the modules with debug messages enabled). Seems even though open-ssl does all the stuff mentioned in the script "bench-ocf", 1141 card is not used. Can you give me some directions here ?

Send me the output of: lsmod If you want to be sure only the safenet driver is used, make sure that you do not load cryptosoft or any other crypto driver. Just load: ocf safe cryptodev Cheers, Davidm > On 9/5/07, David McCullough <Dav...@se...> wrote: > > > > Jivin Nawang Chhetan lays it down ... > > > Hi David, > > > I was testing OCF with SafeXcel 1141 card.

Hi David, I just tried the simple ocf-bench test program with SafeXcel 1141 card. But all the operations fail. I am attaching a tar ball which contains following three files: 1. lsmod.txt 2. lspci.txt 3. ocfbench-dmesg.txt with respective details. Please have a look at them. Thanks a lot.

It is possible that ocf-bench is not calling into OCF with parameters that will work with the safenet. Pretty sure the error 22 will be an EINVAL. Check your errno.h Try running cryptotest from user space or "openssl speed" as they are safe. If that works I'll look at what could be wrong with ocf-bench. Examples of running the apps are on: http://ocf-linux.sourceforge.net/benchmarks.html Cheers, Davidm > On 9/5/07, David McCullough <Dav...@se...> wrote: > > > > Jivin Nawang Chhetan lays it down ... > > > Hi David, > > > I am trying to run "bench-ocf" with safe.ko .

I think I have mentioned this before, but I have not done any testing with preemption enabled. Try with it off just to eliminate that option. >From the crash it seems like a corruption or timing/alloc/free bug, so the preemption is a candidate.
