<title>crypto: af_alg - Disallow concurrent writes in af_alg_sendmsg</title>

<content type='text'>
Issuing two writes to the same af_alg socket is bogus as the
data will be interleaved in an unpredictable fashion.  Furthermore,
concurrent writes may create inconsistencies in the internal
socket state.

Disallow this by adding a new ctx-&gt;write field that indiciates
exclusive ownership for writing.

<title>crypto: af_alg - Set merge to zero early in af_alg_sendmsg</title>

<content type='text'>
If an error causes af_alg_sendmsg to abort, ctx-&gt;merge may contain
a garbage value from the previous loop.  This may then trigger a
crash on the next entry into af_alg_sendmsg when it attempts to do
a merge that can't be done.

Fix this by setting ctx-&gt;merge to zero near the start of the loop.

<id>92ef0fd55ac80dfc2e4654edfe5d1ddfa6e070fe</id>
<content type='text'>
Rather than pass in flags, error pointer, and whether this is a kernel
invocation or not, add a struct proto_accept_arg struct as the argument.
This then holds all of these arguments, and prepares accept for being
able to pass back more information.

No functional changes in this patch.

<title>net: add sk_wake_async_rcu() helper</title>

<id>1abe267f173eae7ae76cf56232292e9641eb652f</id>
<content type='text'>
While looking at UDP receive performance, I saw sk_wake_async()
was no longer inlined.

This matters at least on AMD Zen1-4 platforms (see SRSO)

This might be because rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()
are no longer nops in recent kernels ?

Add sk_wake_async_rcu() variant, which must be called from
contexts already holding rcu lock.

As SOCK_FASYNC is deprecated in modern days, use unlikely()
to give a hint to the compiler.

sk_wake_async_rcu() is properly inlined from
__udp_enqueue_schedule_skb() and sock_def_readable().

Having multiple in-flight AIO requests results in unpredictable
output because they all share the same IV.  Fix this by only allowing
one request at a time.

Syzbot was able to trigger use of uninitialized memory in
af_alg_free_resources.

Bug is caused by missing initialization of rsgl-&gt;sgl.need_unpin before
adding to rsgl_list. Then in case of extract_iter_to_sg() failure, rsgl
is left with uninitialized need_unpin which is read during clean up

Calls to lookup_user_key() require a corresponding key_put() to
decrement the usage counter. Once it reaches zero, we schedule key GC.
Therefore decrement struct key.usage in alg_set_by_key_serial().

Fix af_alg_alloc_areq() to initialise areq-&gt;first_rsgl.sgl.sgt.sgl to point
to the scatterlist array in areq-&gt;first_rsgl.sgl.sgl.

Without this, the gcm-aes-s390 driver will oops when it tries to do
gcm_walk_start() on req-&gt;dst because req-&gt;dst is set to the value of
areq-&gt;first_rsgl.sgl.sgl by _aead_recvmsg() calling
aead_request_set_crypt().

The problem comes if an empty ciphertext is passed: the loop in
af_alg_get_rsgl() just passes straight out and doesn't set areq-&gt;first_rsgl
up.

This isn't a problem on x86_64 using gcmaes_crypt_by_sg() because, as far
as I can tell, that ignores req-&gt;dst and only uses req-&gt;src[*].

[*] Is this a bug in aesni-intel_glue.c?

The s390x oops looks something like:

 Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space
 Failing address: 0000000a00000000 TEID: 0000000a00000803
 Fault in home space mode while using kernel ASCE.
