commit 7a1cd7238fde6ab367384a4a2998cba48330c398 upstream.

The information about tag size should not be printed without debug info
set. Also print device major:minor in the error message to identify the
device instance.

Also use rate limiting and debug level for info about used crypto API
implementaton.  This is important because during online reencryption
the existing message saturates syslog (because we are moving hotzone
across the whole device).

<title>dm crypt: don't overallocate the integrity tag space</title>

bio_sectors() returns the value in the units of 512-byte sectors (no
matter what the real sector size of the device).  dm-crypt multiplies
bio_sectors() by on_disk_tag_size to calculate the space allocated for
integrity tags.  If dm-crypt is running with sector size larger than
512b, it allocates more data than is needed.

Device Mapper trims the extra space when passing the bio to
dm-integrity, so this bug didn't result in any visible misbehavior.
But it must be fixed to avoid wasteful memory allocation for the block
integrity payload.

<title>dm crypt: fix parsing of extended IV arguments</title>

<id>1856b9f7bcc8e9bdcccc360aabb56fbd4dd6c565</id>
<content type='text'>
The dm-crypt cipher specification in a mapping table is defined as:
  cipher[:keycount]-chainmode-ivmode[:ivopts]
or (new crypt API format):
  capi:cipher_api_spec-ivmode[:ivopts]

For ESSIV, the parameter includes hash specification, for example:
aes-cbc-essiv:sha256

The implementation expected that additional IV option to never include
another dash '-' character.

But, with SHA3, there are names like sha3-256; so the mapping table
parser fails:

dmsetup create test --table "0 8 crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha3-256 9c1185a5c5e9fc54612808977ee8f5b9e 0 /dev/sdb 0"
  or (new crypt API format)
dmsetup create test --table "0 8 crypt capi:cbc(aes)-essiv:sha3-256 9c1185a5c5e9fc54612808977ee8f5b9e 0 /dev/sdb 0"

  device-mapper: crypt: Ignoring unexpected additional cipher options
  device-mapper: table: 253:0: crypt: Error creating IV
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Fix the dm-crypt constructor to ignore additional dash in IV options and
also remove a bogus warning (that is ignored anyway).

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Eliminate a couple indirect calls from bio-based DM core.

 - Fix DM to allow reads that exceed readahead limits by setting
   io_pages in the backing_dev_info.

 - A couple code cleanups in request-based DM.

 - Fix various DM targets to check for device sector overflow if
   CONFIG_LBDAF is not set.

 - Use u64 instead of sector_t to store iv_offset in DM crypt; sector_t
   isn't large enough on 32bit when CONFIG_LBDAF is not set.

 - Performance fixes to DM's kcopyd and the snapshot target focused on
   limiting memory use and workqueue stalls.

 - Fix typos in the integrity and writecache targets.

 - Log which algorithm is used for dm-crypt's encryption and
   dm-integrity's hashing.

 - Fix false -EBUSY errors in DM raid target's handling of check/repair
   messages.

 - Fix DM flakey target's corrupt_bio_byte feature to reliably corrupt
   the Nth byte in a bio's payload.

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

Log the encryption algorithm's driver name when a dm-crypt target is
created.  This will help people determine whether the expected
implementation is being used.  In some cases we've seen people do
benchmarks and reject using encryption for performance reasons, when in
fact they used a much slower implementation than was possible on the
hardware.  It can make an enormous difference; e.g., AES-XTS on ARM can
be over 10x faster with the crypto extensions than without.  It can also
be useful to know if an implementation using an external crypto
accelerator is being used instead of a software implementation.

Example message:

[   29.307629] device-mapper: crypt: xts(aes) using implementation "xts-aes-ce"

We've already found the similar message in fs/crypto/keyinfo.c to be
very useful.

Reference to a device in device-mapper table contains offset in sectors.

If the sector_t is 32bit integer (CONFIG_LBDAF is not set), then
several device-mapper targets can overflow this offset and validity
check is then performed on a wrong offset and a wrong table is activated.

See for example (on 32bit without CONFIG_LBDAF) this overflow:

  # dmsetup create test --table "0 2048 linear /dev/sdg 4294967297"
  # dmsetup table test
  0 2048 linear 8:96 1

This patch adds explicit check for overflow if the offset is sector_t type.

The iv_offset in the mapping table of crypt target is a 64bit number when
IV algorithm is plain64, plain64be, essiv or benbi. It will be assigned to
iv_offset of struct crypt_config, cc_sector of struct convert_context and
iv_sector of struct dm_crypt_request. These structures members are defined
as a sector_t. But sector_t is 32bit when CONFIG_LBDAF is not set in 32bit
kernel. In this situation sector_t is not big enough to store the 64bit
iv_offset.

Here is a reproducer.
Prepare test image and device (loop is automatically allocated by cryptsetup):

  # dd if=/dev/zero of=tst.img bs=1M count=1
  # echo "tst"|cryptsetup open --type plain -c aes-xts-plain64 \
  --skip 500000000000000000 tst.img test

On 32bit system (use IV offset value that overflows to 64bit; CONFIG_LBDAF if off)
and device checksum is wrong:

  # dmsetup table test --showkeys
  0 2048 crypt aes-xts-plain64 dfa7cfe3c481f2239155739c42e539ae8f2d38f304dcc89d20b26f69daaf0933 3551657984 7:0 0

  # sha256sum /dev/mapper/test
  533e25c09176632b3794f35303488c4a8f3f965dffffa6ec2df347c168cb6c19 /dev/mapper/test

On 64bit system (and on 32bit system with the patch), table and checksum is now correct:

  # dmsetup table test --showkeys
  0 2048 crypt aes-xts-plain64 dfa7cfe3c481f2239155739c42e539ae8f2d38f304dcc89d20b26f69daaf0933 500000000000000000 7:0 0

<title>crypto: drop mask=CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC from 'cipher' tfm allocations</title>

'cipher' algorithms (single block ciphers) are always synchronous, so
passing CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC in the mask to crypto_alloc_cipher() has no
effect.  Many users therefore already don't pass it, but some still do.
This inconsistency can cause confusion, especially since the way the
'mask' argument works is somewhat counterintuitive.

Thus, just remove the unneeded CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC flags.

This patch shouldn't change any actual behavior.
