commit 8b8f8037765757861f899ed3a2bfb34525b5c065 upstream.

dm-crypt uses tag_offset to index the integrity metadata for each crypt
sector. When the initial crypt_convert() returns BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE,
dm-crypt will try to continue the crypt/decrypt procedure in a kworker.
However, it resets tag_offset as zero instead of using the tag_offset
related with current sector. It may return unexpected data when using
random IV or return unexpected integrity related error.

Fix the problem by tracking tag_offset in per-IO convert_context.
Therefore, when the crypt/decrypt procedure continues in a kworker, it
could use the next tag_offset saved in convert_context.

commit 9fdbbdbbc92b1474a87b89f8b964892a63734492 upstream.

The updates of io-&gt;sector are the leftovers when dm-crypt allocated
pages for partial write request. However, since commit cf2f1abfbd0db
("dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial request"), there is no
partial request anymore.

After the introduction of write request rb-tree, the updates of
io-&gt;sectors may interfere the insertion procedure, because -&gt;sectors of
these write requests which have already been added in the rb-tree may be
changed during the insertion of new write request.

Fix it by removing these buggy updates of io-&gt;sectors. Considering these
updates only effect the write request rb-tree, the commit which
introduces the write request rb-tree is used as the fix tag.

<title>dm-crypt, dm-verity: disable tasklets</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 0a9bab391e336489169b95cb0d4553d921302189 upstream.

Tasklets have an inherent problem with memory corruption. The function
tasklet_action_common calls tasklet_trylock, then it calls the tasklet
callback and then it calls tasklet_unlock. If the tasklet callback frees
the structure that contains the tasklet or if it calls some code that may
free it, tasklet_unlock will write into free memory.

The commits 8e14f610159d and d9a02e016aaf try to fix it for dm-crypt, but
it is not a sufficient fix and the data corruption can still happen [1].
There is no fix for dm-verity and dm-verity will write into free memory
with every tasklet-processed bio.

There will be atomic workqueues implemented in the kernel 6.9 [2]. They
will have better interface and they will not suffer from the memory
corruption problem.

But we need something that stops the memory corruption now and that can be
backported to the stable kernels. So, I'm proposing this commit that
disables tasklets in both dm-crypt and dm-verity. This commit doesn't
remove the tasklet support, because the tasklet code will be reused when
atomic workqueues will be implemented.

<title>dm-verity, dm-crypt: align "struct bvec_iter" correctly</title>

[ Upstream commit 787f1b2800464aa277236a66eb3c279535edd460 ]

"struct bvec_iter" is defined with the __packed attribute, so it is
aligned on a single byte. On X86 (and on other architectures that support
unaligned addresses in hardware), "struct bvec_iter" is accessed using the
8-byte and 4-byte memory instructions, however these instructions are less
efficient if they operate on unaligned addresses.

(on RISC machines that don't have unaligned access in hardware, GCC
generates byte-by-byte accesses that are very inefficient - see [1])

This commit reorders the entries in "struct dm_verity_io" and "struct
convert_context", so that "struct bvec_iter" is aligned on 8 bytes.

<title>dm-crypt: don't modify the data when using authenticated encryption</title>

commit 50c70240097ce41fe6bce6478b80478281e4d0f7 upstream.

It was said that authenticated encryption could produce invalid tag when
the data that is being encrypted is modified [1]. So, fix this problem by
copying the data into the clone bio first and then encrypt them inside the
clone bio.

This may reduce performance, but it is needed to prevent the user from
corrupting the device by writing data with O_DIRECT and modifying them at
the same time.

<title>dm crypt: avoid accessing uninitialized tasklet</title>

commit d9a02e016aaf5a57fb44e9a5e6da8ccd3b9e2e70 upstream.

When neither "no_read_workqueue" nor "no_write_workqueue" are enabled,
tasklet_trylock() in crypt_dec_pending() may still return false due to
an uninitialized state, and dm-crypt will unnecessarily do io completion
in io_queue workqueue instead of current context.

Fix this by adding an 'in_tasklet' flag to dm_crypt_io struct and
initialize it to false in crypt_io_init(). Set this flag to true in
kcryptd_queue_crypt() before calling tasklet_schedule(). If set
crypt_dec_pending() will punt io completion to a workqueue.

This also nicely avoids the tasklet_trylock/unlock hack when tasklets
aren't in use.

commit fb294b1c0ba982144ca467a75e7d01ff26304e2b upstream.

The loop in dmcrypt_write may be running for unbounded amount of time,
thus we need cond_resched() in it.

<content type='text'>
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.
