Input received from user(Here XFRM) contains AAD(Additional Authentication data) || DATA(enc/dec) || Tag(hash). before passing input
to Cipher engine(chelsio) crypto_authenc_encrypt has to skip AAD which is 16 in our case. To skip that 16 bytes they simply incremented offset by 16.Â
I think Robin is right DMA mapping should handle it.
