commit 567dd8f34560fa221a6343729474536aa7ede4fd upstream.

The device mapper dm-crypt target is using scnprintf("%02x", cc-&gt;key[i]) to
report the current key to userspace. However, this is not a constant-time
operation and it may leak information about the key via timing, via cache
access patterns or via the branch predictor.

Change dm-crypt's key printing to use "%c" instead of "%02x". Also
introduce hex2asc() that carefully avoids any branching or memory
accesses when converting a number in the range 0 ... 15 to an ascii
character.

<title>dm crypt: Avoid percpu_counter spinlock contention in crypt_page_alloc()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7b07a2561e2e50b1badc80b82cf8607c12423fa9</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 528b16bfc3ae5f11638e71b3b63a81f9999df727 upstream.

On systems with many cores using dm-crypt, heavy spinlock contention in
percpu_counter_compare() can be observed when the page allocation limit
for a given device is reached or close to be reached. This is due
to percpu_counter_compare() taking a spinlock to compute an exact
result on potentially many CPUs at the same time.

Switch to non-exact comparison of allocated and allowed pages by using
the value returned by percpu_counter_read_positive() to avoid taking
the percpu_counter spinlock.

This may over/under estimate the actual number of allocated pages by at
most (batch-1) * num_online_cpus().

Currently, batch is bounded by 32. The system on which this issue was
first observed has 256 CPUs and 512GB of RAM. With a 4k page size, this
change may over/under estimate by 31MB. With ~10G (2%) allowed dm-crypt
allocations, this seems an acceptable error. Certainly preferred over
running into the spinlock contention.

This behavior was reproduced on an EC2 c5.24xlarge instance with 96 CPUs
and 192GB RAM as follows, but can be provoked on systems with less CPUs
as well.

 * Disable swap
 * Tune vm settings to promote regular writeback
     $ echo 50 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
     $ echo 25 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
     $ echo $((128 * 1024 * 1024)) &gt; /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_bytes

 * Create 8 dmcrypt devices based on files on a tmpfs
 * Create and mount an ext4 filesystem on each crypt devices
 * Run stress-ng --hdd 8 within one of above filesystems

Total %system usage collected from sysstat goes to ~35%. Write throughput
on the underlying loop device is ~2GB/s. perf profiling an individual
kworker kcryptd thread shows the following profile, indicating spinlock
contention in percpu_counter_compare():

            ...

After applying this patch and running the same test, %system usage is
lowered to ~7% and write throughput on the loop device increases
to ~2.7GB/s. perf report shows mempool_alloc() as ~8% rather than ~62%
in the profile and not hitting the percpu_counter() spinlock anymore.

If benbi IV is used in AEAD construction, for example:
  cryptsetup luksFormat &lt;device&gt; --cipher twofish-xts-benbi --key-size 512 --integrity=hmac-sha256
the constructor uses wrong skcipher function and crashes:

Fix this by properly using crypt_aead_blocksize() in this case.

<title>dm: disable CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP to fix a GFP_KERNEL recursion deadlock</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 432061b3da64e488be3403124a72a9250bbe96d4 ]

There's a XFS on dm-crypt deadlock, recursing back to itself due to the
crypto subsystems use of GFP_KERNEL, reported here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200835

* dm-crypt calls crypt_convert in xts mode
* init_crypt from xts.c calls kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
* kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) recurses into the XFS filesystem, the filesystem
	tries to submit some bios and wait for them, causing a deadlock

Fix this by updating both the DM crypt and integrity targets to no
longer use the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP flag, which will change the
crypto allocations from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC, therefore they can't
recurse into a filesystem.  A GFP_ATOMIC allocation can fail, but
init_crypt() in xts.c handles the allocation failure gracefully - it
will fall back to preallocated buffer if the allocation fails.

The crypto API maintainer says that the crypto API only needs to
allocate memory when dealing with unaligned buffers and therefore
turning CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP off is safe (see this discussion:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2018-August/msg00195.html )

commit ff0c129d3b5ecb3df7c8f5e2236582bf745b6c5f upstream.

bio_sectors() returns the value in the units of 512-byte sectors (no
matter what the real sector size of the device).  dm-crypt multiplies
bio_sectors() by on_disk_tag_size to calculate the space allocated for
integrity tags.  If dm-crypt is running with sector size larger than
512b, it allocates more data than is needed.

Device Mapper trims the extra space when passing the bio to
dm-integrity, so this bug didn't result in any visible misbehavior.
But it must be fixed to avoid wasteful memory allocation for the block
integrity payload.

<content type='text'>
commit 1856b9f7bcc8e9bdcccc360aabb56fbd4dd6c565 upstream.

The dm-crypt cipher specification in a mapping table is defined as:
  cipher[:keycount]-chainmode-ivmode[:ivopts]
or (new crypt API format):
  capi:cipher_api_spec-ivmode[:ivopts]

For ESSIV, the parameter includes hash specification, for example:
aes-cbc-essiv:sha256

The implementation expected that additional IV option to never include
another dash '-' character.

But, with SHA3, there are names like sha3-256; so the mapping table
parser fails:

dmsetup create test --table "0 8 crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha3-256 9c1185a5c5e9fc54612808977ee8f5b9e 0 /dev/sdb 0"
  or (new crypt API format)
dmsetup create test --table "0 8 crypt capi:cbc(aes)-essiv:sha3-256 9c1185a5c5e9fc54612808977ee8f5b9e 0 /dev/sdb 0"

  device-mapper: crypt: Ignoring unexpected additional cipher options
  device-mapper: table: 253:0: crypt: Error creating IV
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Fix the dm-crypt constructor to ignore additional dash in IV options and
also remove a bogus warning (that is ignored anyway).

<title>dm crypt: use u64 instead of sector_t to store iv_offset</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 8d683dcd65c037efc9fb38c696ec9b65b306e573 ]

The iv_offset in the mapping table of crypt target is a 64bit number when
IV algorithm is plain64, plain64be, essiv or benbi. It will be assigned to
iv_offset of struct crypt_config, cc_sector of struct convert_context and
iv_sector of struct dm_crypt_request. These structures members are defined
as a sector_t. But sector_t is 32bit when CONFIG_LBDAF is not set in 32bit
kernel. In this situation sector_t is not big enough to store the 64bit
iv_offset.

Here is a reproducer.
Prepare test image and device (loop is automatically allocated by cryptsetup):

  # dd if=/dev/zero of=tst.img bs=1M count=1
  # echo "tst"|cryptsetup open --type plain -c aes-xts-plain64 \
  --skip 500000000000000000 tst.img test

On 32bit system (use IV offset value that overflows to 64bit; CONFIG_LBDAF if off)
and device checksum is wrong:

  # dmsetup table test --showkeys
  0 2048 crypt aes-xts-plain64 dfa7cfe3c481f2239155739c42e539ae8f2d38f304dcc89d20b26f69daaf0933 3551657984 7:0 0

  # sha256sum /dev/mapper/test

On 64bit system (and on 32bit system with the patch), table and checksum is now correct:

  # dmsetup table test --showkeys
  0 2048 crypt aes-xts-plain64 dfa7cfe3c481f2239155739c42e539ae8f2d38f304dcc89d20b26f69daaf0933 500000000000000000 7:0 0

commit bc9e9cf0401f18e33b78d4c8a518661b8346baf7 upstream.

dm-crypt should only increase device limits, it should not decrease them.

This fixes a bug where the user could creates a crypt device with 1024
sector size on the top of scsi device that had 4096 logical block size.
The limit 4096 would be lost and the user could incorrectly send
1024-I/Os to the crypt device.
