Revert: "crypto: af_alg - Disallow bind/setkey/... after accept(2)"

2016-03-16T15:42:21+00:00

This reverts commit 06b4194533ff92ed5888840e3a6beaf29a8fe5d4 which is commit c840ac6af3f8713a71b4d2363419145760bd6044 upstream. It's been widely reported that this patch breaks existing userspace applications when backported to the stable kernel releases. As no fix seems to be forthcoming, just revert it to let systems work again. Reported-by: "J. Paul Reed" Cc: Dmitry Vyukov Cc: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

crypto: af_alg - Disallow bind/setkey/... after accept(2)

2016-02-17T20:34:39+00:00

commit c840ac6af3f8713a71b4d2363419145760bd6044 upstream. 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.

net: remove mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h

2011-06-22T02:17:20+00:00

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually). To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction" definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h". Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier. Hope people are OK with tiny include file. Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

crypto: af_alg - User-space interface for Crypto API

2010-11-19T09:47:57+00:00

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.
