2015-06-22crypto: chainiv - Offer normal cipher functionality without RNGHerbert Xu1-26/+29
The RNG may not be available during early boot, e.g., the relevant modules may not be included in the initramfs. As the RNG Is only needed for IPsec, we should not let this prevent use of ciphers without IV generators, e.g., for disk encryption. This patch postpones the RNG allocation to the init function so that one failure during early boot does not make the RNG unavailable for all subsequent users of the same cipher. More importantly, it lets the cipher live even if RNG allocation fails. Of course we no longer offer IV generation and which will fail with an error if invoked. But all other cipher capabilities will function as usual. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2015-06-04crypto: chainiv - Move IV seeding into init functionHerbert Xu1-57/+9
We currently do the IV seeding on the first givencrypt call in order to conserve entropy. However, this does not work with DRBG which cannot be called from interrupt context. In fact, with DRBG we don't need to conserve entropy anyway. So this patch moves the seeding into the init function. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2014-11-26crypto: include crypto- module prefix in templateKees Cook1-0/+1
This adds the module loading prefix "crypto-" to the template lookup as well. For example, attempting to load 'vfat(blowfish)' via AF_ALG now correctly includes the "crypto-" prefix at every level, correctly rejecting "vfat": net-pf-38 algif-hash crypto-vfat(blowfish) crypto-vfat(blowfish)-all crypto-vfat Reported-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Acked-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2013-02-04crypto: use ERR_CASTJulia Lawall1-2/+1
Replace PTR_ERR followed by ERR_PTR by ERR_CAST, to be more concise. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression err,x; @@ - err = PTR_ERR(x); if (IS_ERR(x)) - return ERR_PTR(err); + return ERR_CAST(x); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-02-19crypto: chainiv - Use kcrypto_wq instead of keventd_wqHuang Ying1-1/+2
keventd_wq has potential starvation problem, so use dedicated kcrypto_wq instead. Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-08-29crypto: skcipher - Use RNG interface instead of get_random_bytesHerbert Xu1-5/+29
This patch makes the IV generators use the new RNG interface so that the user can pick an RNG other than the default get_random_bytes. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-08-29crypto: skcipher - Move IV generators into their own modulesHerbert Xu1-2/+8
This patch moves the default IV generators into their own modules in order to break a dependency loop between cryptomgr, rng, and blkcipher. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-07-10crypto: chainiv - Invoke completion functionHerbert Xu1-2/+8
When chainiv postpones requests it never calls their completion functions. This causes symptoms such as memory leaks when IPsec is in use. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-03-08[CRYPTO] skcipher: Fix section mismatchesHerbert Xu1-3/+1
The previous patch to move chainiv and eseqiv into blkcipher created a section mismatch for the chainiv exit function which was also called from __init. This patch removes the __exit marking on it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-02-23[CRYPTO] skcipher: Move chainiv/seqiv into crypto_blkcipher moduleHerbert Xu1-8/+4
For compatibility with dm-crypt initramfs setups it is useful to merge chainiv/seqiv into the crypto_blkcipher module. Since they're required by most algorithms anyway this is an acceptable trade-off. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] chainiv: Avoid lock spinning where possibleHerbert Xu1-8/+200
This patch makes chainiv avoid spinning by postponing requests on lock contention if the user allows the use of asynchronous algorithms. If a synchronous algorithm is requested then we behave as before. This should improve IPsec performance on SMP when two CPUs attempt to transmit over the same SA. Currently one of them will spin doing nothing waiting for the other CPU to finish its encryption. This patch makes it postpone the request and get on with other work. If only one CPU is transmitting for a given SA, then we will process the request synchronously as before. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] chainiv: Add chain IV generatorHerbert Xu1-0/+139
The chain IV generator is the one we've been using in the IPsec stack. It simply starts out with a random IV, then uses the last block of each encrypted packet's cipher text as the IV for the next packet. It can only be used by synchronous ciphers since we have to make sure that we don't start the encryption of the next packet until the last one has completed. It does have the advantage of using very little CPU time since it doesn't have to generate anything at all. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
