The virtio crypto device is a virtual crypto device (ie. hardware
crypto accelerator card). Currently, the virtio crypto device provides
the following crypto services: CIPHER, MAC, HASH, and AEAD.

In this patch, CIPHER, MAC, HASH, AEAD services are introduced.

This constant isn't mentioned anywhere in the spec, am I missing
something?

Regarding naming: "none session mode" != "non-session mode"

I think this constant should be called
VIRTIO_CRYPTO_FLAG_NON_SESSION_MODE or
VIRTIO_CRYPTO_FLAG_SESSIONLESS_MODE.

Sorry for my typo, I used VIRTIO_CRYPTO_FLAG_NON_SESSION_MODE.

+\section{Crypto Device}\label{sec:Device Types / Crypto Device}
+
+The virtio crypto device is a virtual cryptography device as well as a kind of
+virtual hardware accelerator for virtual machines. The encryption and
+decryption requests are placed in any of teh data active queues and are ultimately handled by the
+backend crypto accelerators. The second kind of queue is the control queue used to create 
+or destroy sessions for symmetric algorithms and will control some advanced
+features in the future. The virtio crypto device provides the following crypto
+services: CIPHER, MAC, HASH, and AEAD.
+
+
+\subsection{Device ID}\label{sec:Device Types / Crypto Device / Device ID}
+
+20
+
+\subsection{Virtqueues}\label{sec:Device Types / Crypto Device / Virtqueues}
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[0] dataq1
+\item[\ldots]
+\item[N-1] dataqN
+\item[N] controlq
+\end{description}
+
+N is set by \field{max_dataqueues}.
+
+\subsection{Feature bits}\label{sec:Device Types / Crypto Device / Feature bits}
+
+VIRTIO_CRYPTO_F_CIPHER_SESSION_MODE (1) Session mode is available for CIPHER service.
+VIRTIO_CRYPTO_F_HASH_SESSION_MODE (2) Session mode is available for HASH service.
+VIRTIO_CRYPTO_F_MAC_SESSION_MODE (3) Session mode is available for MAC service.
+VIRTIO_CRYPTO_F_AEAD_SESSION_MODE (4) Session mode is available for AEAD service.
+
+\subsection{Device configuration layout}\label{sec:Device Types / Crypto Device / Device configuration layout}
+

+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+#define VIRTIO_CRYPTO_S_HW_READY  (1 << 0)
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+The VIRTIO_CRYPTO_S_HW_READY flag is used to show whether the hardware is ready to work or not.
+
+The following driver-read-only fields include \field{max_dataqueues}, which specifies the
+maximum number of data virtqueues (dataq1\ldots dataqN), and \field{crypto_services},
+which indicates the crypto services the virtio crypto supports.

+\end{itemize*}
+
+\subsection{Device Operation}\label{sec:Device Types / Crypto Device / Device Operation}
+
+Packets can be transmitted by placing them in both the controlq and dataq.
+Packets consist of a general header and a service-specific request.
+Where 'general header' is for all crypto requests, and 'service specific requests'
+are composed of operation parameter + output data + input data in general.
+Operation parameters are algorithm-specific parameters, output data is the
+data that should be utilized in operations, and input data is equal to
+"operation result + result data".
+
+The device can support both session mode (See \ref{sec:Device Types / Crypto Device / Device Operation / Control Virtqueue / Session operation}) and non-session mode, for example,
+As VIRTIO_CRYPTO_F_CIPHER_SESSION feature bit is negotiated, the driver can use session mode for CIPHER service, otherwise it can only use non-session mode.
+
+\begin{note}
+The basic unit of all data length the byte.
+\end{note}
+
+The general header for controlq is as follows:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+#define VIRTIO_CRYPTO_OPCODE(service, op)   (((service) << 8) | (op))
+
+struct virtio_crypto_ctrl_header {

+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+The device can set the operation status as follows: VIRTIO_CRYPTO_OK: success;
+VIRTIO_CRYPTO_ERR: failure or device error; VIRTIO_CRYPTO_NOTSUPP: not supported;
+VIRTIO_CRYPTO_INVSESS: invalid session ID when executing crypto operations.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}

+    VIRTIO_CRYPTO_INVSESS = 4,
+    VIRTIO_CRYPTO_MAX
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\subsubsection{Control Virtqueue}\label{sec:Device Types / Crypto Device / Device Operation / Control Virtqueue}
+
+The driver uses the control virtqueue to send control commands to the
+device which handles the non-data plane operations, such as session
+operations (See \ref{sec:Device Types / Crypto Device / Device Operation / Control Virtqueue / Session operation}).
+
+The packet of controlq:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct virtio_crypto_op_ctrl_req {
+    struct virtio_crypto_ctrl_header header;
+
+    union {
+        struct virtio_crypto_sym_create_session_req   sym_create_session;
+        struct virtio_crypto_hash_create_session_req  hash_create_session;
+        struct virtio_crypto_mac_create_session_req   mac_create_session;
+        struct virtio_crypto_aead_create_session_req  aead_create_session;
+        struct virtio_crypto_destroy_session_req      destroy_session;
+    } u;
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+The header is the general header, and the union is of the algorithm-specific type,
+which is set by the driver. All the properties in the union are shown as follows.
+
+\paragraph{Session operation}\label{sec:Device Types / Crypto Device / Device Operation / Control Virtqueue / Session operation}
+
+The symmetric algorithms involve the concept of sessions. A session is a
+handle which describes the cryptographic parameters to be applied to
+a number of buffers. The data within a session handle includes the following:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item The operation (CIPHER, HASH/MAC or both, and if both, the order in
+      which the algorithms should be applied).
+\item The CIPHER set data, including the CIPHER algorithm and mode,
+      the key and its length, and the direction (encryption or decryption).
+\item The HASH/MAC set data, including the HASH algorithm or MAC algorithm,
+      and hash result length (to allow for truncation).
+\begin{itemize*}
+\item Authenticated mode can refer to MAC, which requires that the key and
+      its length are also specified.
+\item For nested mode, the inner and outer prefix data and length are specified,
+      as well as the outer HASH algorithm.
+\end{itemize*}
+\end{enumerate}
+
+The following structure stores the result of session creation set by the device:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct virtio_crypto_session_input {
+    /* Device-writable part */
+    le64 session_id;
+    le32 status;
+    le32 padding;
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+A request to destroy a session includes the following information:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct virtio_crypto_destroy_session_req {
+    /* Device-readable part */
+    le64  session_id;
+    /* Device-writable part */
+    le32  status;
+    le32  padding;
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\subparagraph{Session operation: HASH session}\label{sec:Device Types / Crypto Device / Device
+Operation / Control Virtqueue / Session operation / Session operation: HASH session}
+
+The packet of HASH session is as follows:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct virtio_crypto_hash_session_para {
+    /* See VIRTIO_CRYPTO_HASH_* above */
+    le32 algo;
+    /* hash result length */
+    le32 hash_result_len;
+};
+struct virtio_crypto_hash_create_session_req {
+    /* Device-readable part */
+    struct virtio_crypto_hash_session_para para;
+    /* Device-writable part */
+    struct virtio_crypto_session_input input;
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+

+Each data request uses virtio_crypto_aead_data_req structure to store information
+used to run the AEAD operations. 
+
+The information includes the hash parameters stored by \field{para}, output data and input data.
+In the first virtio_crypto_aead_para structure, \field{iv_len} specifies the length of the initialization vector. \field{tag_len} specifies the length of the authentication tag;
+\field{aad_len} specifies the length of additional authentication data, \field{src_data_len} specifies the
+length of the source data; \field{dst_data_len} specifies the length of the destination data, which is at least \field{src_data_len} + \field{tag_len}.
+
+The output data here includes the IV/Counter data, source data and additional authenticated data if exists.
+The input data includes both destination data used to save the results of the AEAD operations.
+\field{inhdr} stores status of executing the AEAD operations.
