crypto: algif_aead - snapshot IV for async AEAD requests

2026-05-07T04:11:35+00:00

commit 5aa58c3a572b3e3b6c786953339f7978b845cc52 upstream. AF_ALG AEAD AIO requests currently use the socket-wide IV buffer during request processing. For async requests, later socket activity can update that shared state before the original request has fully completed, which can lead to inconsistent IV handling. Snapshot the IV into per-request storage when preparing the AEAD request, so in-flight operations no longer depend on mutable socket state.

crypto: algif_aead - Fix minimum RX size check for decryption

2026-04-22T11:22:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3d14bd48e3a77091cbce637a12c2ae31b4a1687c ] The check for the minimum receive buffer size did not take the tag size into account during decryption. Fix this by adding the required extra length.

crypto: algif_aead - Revert to operating out-of-place

2026-04-11T12:26:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit a664bf3d603dc3bdcf9ae47cc21e0daec706d7a5 ] This mostly reverts commit 72548b093ee3 except for the copying of the associated data. There is no benefit in operating in-place in algif_aead since the source and destination come from different mappings. Get rid of all the complexity added for in-place operation and just copy the AD directly.

crypto: algif_aead - use memcpy_sglist() instead of null skcipher

2025-05-12T05:32:53+00:00

For copying data between two scatterlists, just use memcpy_sglist() instead of the so-called "null skcipher". This is much simpler. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

sock: Remove ->sendpage*() in favour of sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES)

2023-06-24T22:50:13+00:00

Remove ->sendpage() and ->sendpage_locked(). sendmsg() with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES should be used instead. This allows multiple pages and multipage folios to be passed through.

crypto: af_alg: Support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES

2023-06-08T11:42:34+00:00

Make AF_ALG sendmsg() support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES. This causes pages to be spliced from the source iterator. This allows ->sendpage() to be replaced by something that can handle multiple multipage folios in a single transaction. Signed-off-by: David Howells cc: Herbert Xu cc: "David S.

Use extract_iter_to_sg() to decant the destination iterator into a scatterlist in af_alg_get_rsgl(). af_alg_make_sg() can then be removed. Signed-off-by: David Howells cc: Herbert Xu cc: "David S.

crypto: algif_aead - Do not set MAY_BACKLOG on the async path

2020-08-21T04:45:27+00:00

The async path cannot use MAY_BACKLOG because it is not meant to block, which is what MAY_BACKLOG does. On the other hand, both the sync and async paths can make use of MAY_SLEEP. Fixes: 83094e5e9e49 ("crypto: af_alg - add async support to...") Cc: Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
