2017-11-03crypto: change transient busy return code to -ENOSPCGilad Ben-Yossef1-3/+1
The crypto API was using the -EBUSY return value to indicate both a hard failure to submit a crypto operation into a transformation provider when the latter was busy and the backlog mechanism was not enabled as well as a notification that the operation was queued into the backlog when the backlog mechanism was enabled. Having the same return code indicate two very different conditions depending on a flag is both error prone and requires extra runtime check like the following to discern between the cases: if (err == -EINPROGRESS || (err == -EBUSY && (ahash_request_flags(req) & CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG))) This patch changes the return code used to indicate a crypto op failed due to the transformation provider being transiently busy to -ENOSPC.

2016-08-31crypto: cryptd - Use correct tfm object for AEAD trackingHerbert Xu1-1/+2
The AEAD code path incorrectly uses the child tfm to track the cryptd refcnt, and then potentially frees the child tfm. Fixes: 81760ea6a95a ("crypto: cryptd - Add helpers to check...")

2016-06-23crypto: cryptd - Add helpers to check whether a tfm is queuedHerbert Xu1-19/+113
This patch adds helpers to check whether a given tfm is currently queued. This is meant to be used by ablk_helper and similar entities to ensure that no reordering is introduced because of requests queued in cryptd with respect to requests being processed in softirq context. The per-cpu queue length limit is also increased to 1000 in line with network limits. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2015-07-07crypto: cryptd - Fix AEAD request context corruptionHerbert Xu1-4/+8
The AEAD version of cryptd uses the same context for its own state as well as that of the child. In doing so it did not maintain the proper ordering, thus resulting in potential state corruption where the child will overwrite the state stored by cryptd. This patch fixes and also sets the request size properly. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

However cryptd_enqueue_request might be called from softirq context, so add local_bh_disable/local_bh_enable to prevent data corruption and panics.

2011-08-20crypto: cryptd - Use subsys_initcall to prevent races with aesniHerbert Xu1-1/+1
As cryptd is depeneded on by other algorithms such as aesni-intel, it needs to be registered before them. When everything is built as modules, this occurs naturally.

PCLMULQDQ is used to accelerate the most time-consuming part of GHASH, carry-less multiplication. More information about PCLMULQDQ can be found at: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/carry-less-multiplication-and-its-usage-for-computing-the-gcm-mode/ Because PCLMULQDQ changes XMM state, its usage must be enclosed with kernel_fpu_begin/end, which can be used only in process context, the acceleration is implemented as crypto_ahash.

2009-02-19crypto: cryptd - Per-CPU thread implementation based on kcrypto_wqHuang Ying1-117/+103
Original cryptd thread implementation has scalability issue, this patch solve the issue with a per-CPU thread implementation. struct cryptd_queue is defined to be a per-CPU queue, which holds one struct cryptd_cpu_queue for each CPU. In struct cryptd_cpu_queue, a struct crypto_queue holds all requests for the CPU, a struct work_struct is used to run all requests for the CPU. Testing based on dm-crypt on an Intel Core 2 E6400 (two cores) machine shows 19.2% performance gain. The testing script is as follow: -------------------- script begin --------------------------- #!/bin/sh dmc_create() { # Create a crypt device using dmsetup dmsetup create $2 --table "0 `blockdev --getsize $1` crypt cbc(aes-asm)?cryptd?plain:plain babebabebabebabebabebabebabebabe 0 $1 0" } dmsetup remove crypt0 dmsetup remove crypt1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 bs=1M count=4 >& /dev/null dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram1 bs=1M count=4 >& /dev/null dmc_create /dev/ram0 crypt0 dmc_create /dev/ram1 crypt1 cat >tr.sh <<EOF #!/bin/sh for n in \$(seq 10); do dd if=/dev/dm-0 of=/dev/null >& /dev/null & dd if=/dev/dm-1 of=/dev/null >& /dev/null & done wait EOF for n in $(seq 10); do /usr/bin/time sh tr.sh done rm tr.sh -------------------- script end --------------------------- The separator of dm-crypt parameter is changed from "-" to "?", because "-" is used in some cipher driver name too, and cryptds need to specify cipher driver name instead of cipher name.

2008-01-11[CRYPTO] ablkcipher: Add distinct ABLKCIPHER typeHerbert Xu1-2/+2
Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set. This is suboptimal because ablkcipher refers to two things. On the one hand it refers to the top-level ablkcipher interface with requests. On the other hand it refers to and algorithm type underneath. As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm with the ablkcipher interface on top. This is a problem because we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level interface. This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST. The type it associated with the algorithm implementation only. Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is then determined by the mask that's used. If it's a specific mask then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the new ablkcipher interface. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
