Subject: mlx5 HW crypto offload support

Hi All,

Does HW crypto offload support for mlx5 work under virtualized environment?
For e.g with PF (Physical Function) driver and VF(Virtual Function) driver.

If yes, then how does the information that is required to create
security association get passed to the PF driver?

For example in rx full offload the FDB table needs to match the spi.
As the spi is created by the VF driver, how does its value get
communicated to PF driver...

Thanks
Best Regards
James S
