2017-12-11crypto: mcryptd - protect the per-CPU queue with a lockSebastian Andrzej Siewior
mcryptd_enqueue_request() grabs the per-CPU queue struct and protects access to it with disabled preemption. Then it schedules a worker on the same CPU. The worker in mcryptd_queue_worker() guards access to the same per-CPU variable with disabled preemption. If we take CPU-hotplug into account then it is possible that between queue_work_on() and the actual invocation of the worker the CPU goes down and the worker will be scheduled on _another_ CPU. And here the preempt_disable() protection does not work anymore. The easiest thing is to add a spin_lock() to guard access to the list. Another detail: mcryptd_queue_worker() is not processing more than MCRYPTD_BATCH invocation in a row. If there are still items left, then it will invoke queue_work() to proceed with more later. *I* would suggest to simply drop that check because it does not use a system workqueue and the workqueue is already marked as "CPU_INTENSIVE". And if preemption is required then the scheduler should do it. However if queue_work() is used then the work item is marked as CPU unbound. That means it will try to run on the local CPU but it may run on another CPU as well. Especially with CONFIG_DEBUG_WQ_FORCE_RR_CPU=y. Again, the preempt_disable() won't work here but lock which was introduced will help. In order to keep work-item on the local CPU (and avoid RR) I changed it to queue_work_on().

2017-03-02sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to ↵Ingo Molnar
<linux/sched/stat.h> We are going to split <linux/sched/stat.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/stat.h> file that just maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

2016-12-07crypto: mcryptd - Check mcryptd algorithm compatibilitytim
Algorithms not compatible with mcryptd could be spawned by mcryptd with a direct crypto_alloc_tfm invocation using a "mcryptd(alg)" name construct. This causes mcryptd to crash the kernel if an arbitrary "alg" is incompatible and not intended to be used with mcryptd. It is an issue if AF_ALG tries to spawn mcryptd(alg) to expose it externally. But such algorithms must be used internally and not be exposed. We added a check to enforce that only internal algorithms are allowed with mcryptd at the time mcryptd is spawning an algorithm.

2016-06-23crypto: sha1-mb - async implementation for sha1-mbMegha Dey
Herbert wants the sha1-mb algorithm to have an async implementation: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/5/286. Currently, sha1-mb uses an async interface for the outer algorithm and a sync interface for the inner algorithm. This patch introduces a async interface for even the inner algorithm.

The mcryptd is used as a wrapper around internal ciphers. Therefore, the mcryptd must process the internal cipher by marking mcryptd as internal if the underlying cipher is an internal cipher.

2014-08-25crypto: sha-mb - multibuffer crypto infrastructureTim Chen
This patch introduces the multi-buffer crypto daemon which is responsible for submitting crypto jobs in a work queue to the responsible multi-buffer crypto algorithm. The idea of the multi-buffer algorihtm is to put data streams from multiple jobs in a wide (AVX2) register and then take advantage of SIMD instructions to do crypto computation on several buffers simultaneously. The multi-buffer crypto daemon is also responsbile for flushing the remaining buffers to complete the computation if no new buffers arrive for a while.
