All instances need to have a -&gt;free() method, but people could forget to
set it and then not notice if the instance is never unregistered.  To
help detect this bug earlier, don't allow an instance without a -&gt;free()
method to be registered, and complain loudly if someone tries to do it.

Now that all users of single-block cipher spawns have been converted to
use 'struct crypto_cipher_spawn' rather than the less specifically typed
'struct crypto_spawn', make crypto_spawn_cipher() take a pointer to a

Make skcipher_alloc_instance_simple() use the new function
crypto_grab_cipher() to initialize its cipher spawn.

This is needed to make all spawns be initialized in a consistent way.

Also simplify the error handling by taking advantage of crypto_drop_*()
now accepting (as a no-op) spawns that haven't been initialized yet, and
by taking advantage of crypto_grab_*() now handling ERR_PTR() names.

Currently, crypto_spawn::inst is first used temporarily to pass the
instance to crypto_grab_spawn().  Then crypto_init_spawn() overwrites it
with crypto_spawn::next, which shares the same union.  Finally,
crypto_spawn::inst is set again when the instance is registered.

Make this less convoluted by just passing the instance as an argument to
crypto_grab_spawn() instead.

Initializing a crypto_skcipher_spawn currently requires:

1. Set spawn-&gt;base.inst to point to the instance.
2. Call crypto_grab_skcipher().

But there's no reason for these steps to be separate, and in fact this
unneeded complication has caused at least one bug, the one fixed by
commit 6db43410179b ("crypto: adiantum - initialize crypto_spawn::inst")

So just make crypto_grab_skcipher() take the instance as an argument.

To keep the function calls from getting too unwieldy due to this extra
argument, also introduce a 'mask' variable into the affected places
which weren't already using one.

<title>crypto: remove propagation of CRYPTO_TFM_RES_* flags</title>

The CRYPTO_TFM_RES_* flags were apparently meant as a way to make the
-&gt;setkey() functions provide more information about errors.  But these
flags weren't actually being used or tested, and in many cases they
weren't being set correctly anyway.  So they've now been removed.

Also, if someone ever actually needs to start better distinguishing
-&gt;setkey() errors (which is somewhat unlikely, as this has been unneeded
for a long time), we'd be much better off just defining different return
values, like -EINVAL if the key is invalid for the algorithm vs.
-EKEYREJECTED if the key was rejected by a policy like "no weak keys".
That would be much simpler, less error-prone, and easier to test.

So just remove CRYPTO_TFM_RES_MASK and all the unneeded logic that
propagates these flags around.

<title>crypto: remove CRYPTO_TFM_RES_BAD_KEY_LEN</title>

<content type='text'>
The CRYPTO_TFM_RES_BAD_KEY_LEN flag was apparently meant as a way to
make the -&gt;setkey() functions provide more information about errors.

However, no one actually checks for this flag, which makes it pointless.

Also, many algorithms fail to set this flag when given a bad length key.
Reviewing just the generic implementations, this is the case for
aes-fixed-time, cbcmac, echainiv, nhpoly1305, pcrypt, rfc3686, rfc4309,
rfc7539, rfc7539esp, salsa20, seqiv, and xcbc.  But there are probably
many more in arch/*/crypto/ and drivers/crypto/.

Some algorithms can even set this flag when the key is the correct
length.  For example, authenc and authencesn set it when the key payload
is malformed in any way (not just a bad length), the atmel-sha and ccree
drivers can set it if a memory allocation fails, and the chelsio driver
sets it for bad auth tag lengths, not just bad key lengths.

So even if someone actually wanted to start checking this flag (which
seems unlikely, since it's been unused for a long time), there would be
a lot of work needed to get it working correctly.  But it would probably
be much better to go back to the drawing board and just define different
return values, like -EINVAL if the key is invalid for the algorithm vs.
-EKEYREJECTED if the key was rejected by a policy like "no weak keys".
That would be much simpler, less error-prone, and easier to test.

So just remove this flag.

<content type='text'>
This patch introduces the skcipher_ialg_simple helper which fetches
the crypto_alg structure from a simple skcipher instance's spawn.

This allows us to remove the third argument from the function
skcipher_alloc_instance_simple.

In doing so the reference count to the algorithm is now maintained
by the Crypto API and the caller no longer needs to drop the alg
refcount.
