crypto: api - Keep failed instances alive

2018-03-30T17:32:58+00:00

This patch reverts commit 9c521a200bc3 ("crypto: api - remove
instance when test failed") and fixes the underlying problem
in a different way.

To recap, prior to the reverted commit, an instance that fails
a self-test is kept around.  However, it would satisfy any new
lookups against its name and therefore the system may accumlulate
an unbounded number of failed instances for the same algorithm
name.

The reverted commit fixed it by unregistering the instance.  Hoever,
this still does not prevent the creation of the same failed instance
over and over again each time the name is looked up.

This patch fixes it by keeping the failed instance around, just as
we would if it were a normal algorithm.  However, the lookup code
has been udpated so that we do not attempt to create another
instance as long as this failed one is still registered.  Of course,
you could still force a new creation by deleting the instance from
user-space.

A new error (ELIBBAD) has been commandeered for this purpose and
will be returned when all registered algorithm of a given name
have failed the self-test.

crypto: api - Make crypto_alg_lookup static

2018-03-30T17:32:58+00:00

The function crypto_alg_lookup is only usd within the crypto API
and should be not be exported to the modules.  This patch marks
it as a static function.

crypto: api - Remove unused crypto_type lookup function

2018-03-30T17:32:57+00:00

The lookup function in crypto_type was only used for the implicit
IV generators which have been completely removed from the crypto
API.

This patch removes the lookup function as it is now useless.

crypto: algapi - convert cra_refcnt to refcount_t

2018-01-05T07:43:09+00:00

Reference counters should use refcount_t rather than atomic_t, since the
refcount_t implementation can prevent overflows, reducing the
exploitability of reference leak bugs.  crypto_alg.cra_refcount is a
reference counter with the usual semantics, so switch it over to
refcount_t.

crypto: api - Unexport crypto_larval_lookup()

2017-12-22T08:29:06+00:00

crypto_larval_lookup() is not used outside of crypto/api.c, so unexport
it and mark it 'static'.

crypto: introduce crypto wait for async op

2017-11-03T14:11:18+00:00

Invoking a possibly async. crypto op and waiting for completion
while correctly handling backlog processing is a common task
in the crypto API implementation and outside users of it.

This patch adds a generic implementation for doing so in
preparation for using it across the board instead of hand
rolled versions.

crypto: api - Do not clear type bits in crypto_larval_lookup

2016-11-28T13:23:18+00:00

Currently all bits not set in mask are cleared in crypto_larval_lookup.
This is unnecessary as wherever the type bits are used it is always
masked anyway.

This patch removes the clearing so that we may use bits set in the
type but not in the mask for special purposes, e.g., picking up
internal algorithms.

crypto: api - Remove no-op exit_ops code

2016-10-21T03:03:42+00:00

crypto_exit_cipher_ops() and crypto_exit_compress_ops() are no-ops and
have been for a long time, so remove them.

crypto: api - Only abort operations on fatal signal

2015-10-20T13:59:25+00:00

Currently a number of Crypto API operations may fail when a signal
occurs.  This causes nasty problems as the caller of those operations
are often not in a good position to restart the operation.

In fact there is currently no need for those operations to be
interrupted by user signals at all.  All we need is for them to
be killable.

This patch replaces the relevant calls of signal_pending with
fatal_signal_pending, and wait_for_completion_interruptible with
wait_for_completion_killable, respectively.
