cryptd_skcipher_free() fails to free the struct skcipher_instance
allocated in cryptd_create_skcipher(), leading to a memory leak.  This

<title>crypto: shash - remove shash_desc::flags</title>

<content type='text'>
The flags field in 'struct shash_desc' never actually does anything.
The only ostensibly supported flag is CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP.
However, no shash algorithm ever sleeps, making this flag a no-op.

With this being the case, inevitably some users who can't sleep wrongly
pass MAY_SLEEP.  These would all need to be fixed if any shash algorithm
actually started sleeping.  For example, the shash_ahash_*() functions,
which wrap a shash algorithm with the ahash API, pass through MAY_SLEEP
from the ahash API to the shash API.  However, the shash functions are
called under kmap_atomic(), so actually they're assumed to never sleep.

Even if it turns out that some users do need preemption points while
hashing large buffers, we could easily provide a helper function
crypto_shash_update_large() which divides the data into smaller chunks
and calls crypto_shash_update() and cond_resched() for each chunk.  It's
not necessary to have a flag in 'struct shash_desc', nor is it necessary
to make individual shash algorithms aware of this at all.

Therefore, remove shash_desc::flags, and document that the
crypto_shash_*() functions can be called from any context.

Remove cryptd_alloc_ablkcipher() and the ability of cryptd to create
algorithms with the deprecated "ablkcipher" type.

This has been unused since commit 0e145b477dea ("crypto: ablk_helper -
remove ablk_helper").  Instead, cryptd_alloc_skcipher() is used.

Remove dead code related to internal IV generators, which are no longer
used since they've been replaced with the "seqiv" and "echainiv"
templates.  The removed code includes:

- The "givcipher" (GIVCIPHER) algorithm type.  No algorithms are
  registered with this type anymore, so it's unneeded.

- The "const char *geniv" member of aead_alg, ablkcipher_alg, and
  blkcipher_alg.  A few algorithms still set this, but it isn't used
  anymore except to show via /proc/crypto and CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG.
  Just hardcode "&lt;default&gt;" or "&lt;none&gt;" in those cases.

- The 'skcipher_givcrypt_request' structure, which is never used.

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
replaces struct crypto_skcipher and SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK() usage
with struct crypto_sync_skcipher and SYNC_SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK(),
which uses a fixed stack size.

We need to consistently enforce that keyed hashes cannot be used without
setting the key.  To do this we need a reliable way to determine whether
a given hash algorithm is keyed or not.  AF_ALG currently does this by
checking for the presence of a -&gt;setkey() method.  However, this is
actually slightly broken because the CRC-32 algorithms implement
-&gt;setkey() but can also be used without a key.  (The CRC-32 "key" is not
actually a cryptographic key but rather represents the initial state.
If not overridden, then a default initial state is used.)

Prepare to fix this by introducing a flag CRYPTO_ALG_OPTIONAL_KEY which
indicates that the algorithm has a -&gt;setkey() method, but it is not
required to be called.  Then set it on all the CRC-32 algorithms.

The same also applies to the Adler-32 implementation in Lustre.

Also, the cryptd and mcryptd templates have to pass through the flag
from their underlying algorithm.

When the cryptd template is used to wrap an unkeyed hash algorithm,
don't install a -&gt;setkey() method to the cryptd instance.  This change
is necessary for cryptd to keep working with unkeyed hash algorithms
once we start enforcing that -&gt;setkey() is called when present.
