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

2026-03-31T08:11:47+00:00

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: af_alg - Fix incorrect boolean values in af_alg_ctx

2025-09-24T21:43:32+00:00

Commit 1b34cbbf4f01 ("crypto: af_alg - Disallow concurrent writes in af_alg_sendmsg") changed some fields from bool to 1-bit bitfields of type u32. However, some assignments to these fields, specifically 'more' and 'merge', assign values greater than 1. These relied on C's implicit conversion to bool, such that zero becomes false and nonzero becomes true. With a 1-bit bitfields of type u32 instead, mod 2 of the value is taken instead, resulting in 0 being assigned in some cases when 1 was intended. Fix this by restoring the bool type.

crypto: af_alg - Disallow concurrent writes in af_alg_sendmsg

2025-09-18T09:24:59+00:00

Issuing two writes to the same af_alg socket is bogus as the data will be interleaved in an unpredictable fashion. Furthermore, concurrent writes may create inconsistencies in the internal socket state. Disallow this by adding a new ctx->write field that indiciates exclusive ownership for writing.

net: change proto and proto_ops accept type

2024-05-14T00:19:09+00:00

Rather than pass in flags, error pointer, and whether this is a kernel invocation or not, add a struct proto_accept_arg struct as the argument. This then holds all of these arguments, and prepares accept for being able to pass back more information. No functional changes in this patch. Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

crypto: algif_skcipher - Fix stream cipher chaining

2023-12-08T03:59:46+00:00

Unlike algif_aead which is always issued in one go (thus limiting the maximum size of the request), algif_skcipher has always allowed unlimited input data by cutting them up as necessary and feeding the fragments to the underlying algorithm one at a time. However, because of deficiencies in the API, this has been broken for most stream ciphers such as arc4 or chacha. This is because they have an internal state in addition to the IV that must be preserved in order to continue processing. Fix this by using the new skcipher state API. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: af_alg - Disallow multiple in-flight AIO requests

2023-12-08T03:59:44+00:00

Having multiple in-flight AIO requests results in unpredictable output because they all share the same IV. Fix this by only allowing one request at a time.

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: Use extract_iter_to_sg() to create scatterlists

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

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: af_alg: Pin pages rather than ref'ing if appropriate

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

Convert AF_ALG to use iov_iter_extract_pages() instead of iov_iter_get_pages(). This will pin pages or leave them unaltered rather than getting a ref on them as appropriate to the iterator. The pages need to be pinned for DIO-read rather than having refs taken on them to prevent VM copy-on-write from malfunctioning during a concurrent fork() (the result of the I/O would otherwise end up only visible to the child process and not the parent).
