2017-08-22crypto: af_alg - get_page upon reassignment to TX SGLStephan Mueller
When a page is assigned to a TX SGL, call get_page to increment the reference counter. It is possible that one page is referenced in multiple SGLs: - in the global TX SGL in case a previous af_alg_pull_tsgl only reassigned parts of a page to a per-request TX SGL - in the per-request TX SGL as assigned by af_alg_pull_tsgl Note, multiple requests can be active at the same time whose TX SGLs all point to different parts of the same page.

The first is triggered by user space, the second is triggered by the kernel upon finishing the processing of data (i.e. the kernel is ready for more). af_alg_sendmsg uses size_t in min_t calculation for obtaining len. Return code determination is consistent with algif_skcipher. The scope of the variable i is reduced to match algif_aead. The type of the variable i is switched from int to unsigned int to match algif_aead. af_alg_sendpage does not contain the superfluous err = 0 from aead_sendpage. af_alg_async_cb requires to store the number of output bytes in areq->outlen before the AIO callback is triggered. The POLLIN / POLLRDNORM is now set when either not more data is given or the kernel is supplied with data. This is consistent to the wakeup from sleep when the kernel waits for data. The request data structure is extended by the field last_rsgl which points to the last RX SGL list entry. This shall help recvmsg implementation to chain the RX SGL to other SG(L)s if needed. It is currently used by algif_aead which chains the tag SGL to the RX SGL during decryption.

crypto: af_alg - Avoid sock_graft call warning The newly added sock_graft warning triggers in af_alg_accept. It's harmless as we're essentially doing sock->sk = sock->sk. The sock_graft call is actually redundant because all the work it does is subsumed by sock_init_data. However, it was added to placate SELinux as it uses it to initialise its internal state. This patch avoisd the warning by making the SELinux call directly.

2017-04-10crypto: af_alg - Allow arbitrarily long algorithm namesHerbert Xu
This patch removes the hard-coded 64-byte limit on the length of the algorithm name through bind(2). The address length can now exceed that. The user-space structure remains unchanged. In order to use a longer name simply extend the salg_name array beyond its defined 64 bytes length. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2017-03-09net: Work around lockdep limitation in sockets that use socketsDavid Howells
Lockdep issues a circular dependency warning when AFS issues an operation through AF_RXRPC from a context in which the VFS/VM holds the mmap_sem. The theory lockdep comes up with is as follows: (1) If the pagefault handler decides it needs to read pages from AFS, it calls AFS with mmap_sem held and AFS begins an AF_RXRPC call, but creating a call requires the socket lock: mmap_sem must be taken before sk_lock-AF_RXRPC (2) afs_open_socket() opens an AF_RXRPC socket and binds it. rxrpc_bind() binds the underlying UDP socket whilst holding its socket lock. inet_bind() takes its own socket lock: sk_lock-AF_RXRPC must be taken before sk_lock-AF_INET (3) Reading from a TCP socket into a userspace buffer might cause a fault and thus cause the kernel to take the mmap_sem, but the TCP socket is locked whilst doing this: sk_lock-AF_INET must be taken before mmap_sem However, lockdep's theory is wrong in this instance because it deals only with lock classes and not individual locks. The AF_INET lock in (2) isn't really equivalent to the AF_INET lock in (3) as the former deals with a socket entirely internal to the kernel that never sees userspace. This is a limitation in the design of lockdep. Fix the general case by: (1) Double up all the locking keys used in sockets so that one set are used if the socket is created by userspace and the other set is used if the socket is created by the kernel. (2) Store the kern parameter passed to sk_alloc() in a variable in the sock struct (sk_kern_sock). This informs sock_lock_init(), sock_init_data() and sk_clone_lock() as to the lock keys to be used. Note that the child created by sk_clone_lock() inherits the parent's kern setting. (3) Add a 'kern' parameter to ->accept() that is analogous to the one passed in to ->create() that distinguishes whether kernel_accept() or sys_accept4() was the caller and can be passed to sk_alloc(). Note that a lot of accept functions merely dequeue an already allocated socket. I haven't touched these as the new socket already exists before we get the parameter. Note also that there are a couple of places where I've made the accepted socket unconditionally kernel-based: irda_accept() rds_rcp_accept_one() tcp_accept_from_sock() because they follow a sock_create_kern() and accept off of that. Whilst creating this, I noticed that lustre and ocfs don't create sockets through sock_create_kern() and thus they aren't marked as for-kernel, though they appear to be internal. I wonder if these should do that so that they use the new set of lock keys. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-01-18crypto: af_alg - Forbid bind(2) when nokey child sockets are presentHerbert Xu
This patch forbids the calling of bind(2) when there are child sockets created by accept(2) in existence, even if they are created on the nokey path.

2016-01-18crypto: af_alg - Fix socket double-free when accept failsHerbert Xu

2016-01-18crypto: af_alg - Disallow bind/setkey/... after accept(2)Herbert Xu
Each af_alg parent socket obtained by socket(2) corresponds to a tfm object once bind(2) has succeeded. An accept(2) call on that parent socket creates a context which then uses the tfm object. Therefore as long as any child sockets created by accept(2) exist the parent socket must not be modified or freed. This patch guarantees this by using locks and a reference count on the parent socket. Any attempt to modify the parent socket will fail with EBUSY.

2015-06-22crypto: af_alg - Forbid the use internal algorithmsHerbert Xu
The bit CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL was added to stop af_alg from accessing internal algorithms. However, af_alg itself was never modified to actually stop that bit from being used by the user. Therefore the user could always override it by specifying the relevant bit in the type and/or mask. This patch silently discards the bit in both type and mask.

Commit 1d10eb2f156f ("crypto: switch af_alg_make_sg() to iov_iter") broke af_alg_make_sg() and skcipher_recvmsg() in the process of moving them to the iov_iter interfaces. The 'npages' calculation in the formar calculated the number of *bytes* in the pages, and in the latter case the conversion didn't re-read the value of 'ctx->used' after waiting for it to become non-zero.

2014-12-22crypto: af_alg - fix backlog handlingRabin Vincent
If a request is backlogged, it's complete() handler will get called twice: once with -EINPROGRESS, and once with the final error code. af_alg's complete handler, unlike other users, does not handle the -EINPROGRESS but instead always completes the completion that recvmsg() is waiting on. This can lead to a return to user space while the request is still pending in the driver. If userspace closes the sockets before the requests are handled by the driver, this will lead to use-after-frees (and potential crashes) in the kernel due to the tfm having been freed. The crashes can be easily reproduced (for example) by reducing the max queue length in cryptod.c and running the following (from http://www.chronox.de/libkcapi.html) on AES-NI capable hardware: $ while true; do kcapi -x 1 -e -c '__ecb-aes-aesni' \ -k 00000000000000000000000000000000 \ -p 00000000000000000000000000000000 >/dev/null & done Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin.vincent@axis.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

This patch creates the backbone of the user-space interface for the Crypto API, through a new socket family AF_ALG. Each session corresponds to one or more connections obtained from that socket. The number depends on the number of inputs/outputs of that particular type of operation. For most types there will be a s ingle connection/file descriptor that is used for both input and output. AEAD is one of the few that require two inputs. Each algorithm type will provide its own implementation that plugs into af_alg. They're keyed using a string such as "skcipher" or "hash". IOW this patch only contains the boring bits that is required to hold everything together. Thakns to Miloslav Trmac for reviewing this and contributing fixes and improvements.
