crypto: blkcipher_get_spot() handling of buffer at end of page

2007-09-26T17:54:41+00:00

This corresponds to upstream changesets
e4630f9fd8cdc14eb1caa08dafe649eb5ae09985 and
32528d0fbda1093eeeaa7d0a2c498bbb5154099d.

[CRYPTO] blkcipher: Fix handling of kmalloc page straddling

The function blkcipher_get_spot tries to return a buffer of
the specified length that does not straddle a page.  It has
an off-by-one bug so it may advance a page unnecessarily.

What's worse, one of its callers doesn't provide a buffer
that's sufficiently long for this operation.

This patch fixes both problems.  Thanks to Bob Gilligan for
diagnosing this problem and providing a fix.

[CRYPTO] api: Add async block cipher interface

2007-05-02T04:38:30+00:00

This patch adds the frontend interface for asynchronous block ciphers.
In addition to the usual block cipher parameters, there is a callback
function pointer and a data pointer.  The callback will be invoked only
if the encrypt/decrypt handlers return -EINPROGRESS.  In other words,
if the return value of zero the completion handler (or the equivalent
code) needs to be invoked by the caller.

The request structure is allocated and freed by the caller.  Its size
is determined by calling crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize().  The helpers
ablkcipher_request_alloc/ablkcipher_request_free can be used to manage
the memory for a request.

[CRYPTO] api: Proc functions should be marked as unused

2007-05-02T04:38:29+00:00

The proc functions were incorrectly marked as used rather than unused.
They may be unused if proc is disabled.

[CRYPTO] api: Allow multiple frontends per backend

2007-02-06T22:21:01+00:00

This patch adds support for multiple frontend types for each backend
algorithm by passing the type and mask through to the backend type
init function.

[CRYPTO] all: Check for usage in hard IRQ context

2007-02-06T22:20:58+00:00

Using blkcipher/hash crypto operations in hard IRQ context can lead
to random memory corruption due to the reuse of kmap_atomic slots.
Since crypto operations were never meant to be used in hard IRQ
contexts, this patch checks for such usage and returns an error
before kmap_atomic is performed.

[PATCH] uml problems with linux/io.h

2006-12-13T17:05:52+00:00

Remove useless includes of linux/io.h, don't even try to build iomap_copy
on uml (it doesn't have readb() et.al., so...)

[CRYPTO] cipher: Added block cipher type

2006-09-21T01:41:52+00:00

This patch adds the new type of block ciphers.  Unlike current cipher
algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data.  As it is block-based,
it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.

The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
block cipher implementation.  The sg walking is now performed by the
algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer.  This is needed for drivers
that directly support sg lists.  It also improves performance for all
algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.

In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have
a single-block interface.  This will be done after all existing users
have switched over to the new block cipher type.
