mac80211: Check crypto_aead_encrypt for errors

2021-03-16T20:20:41+00:00

crypto_aead_encrypt returns <0 on error, so if these calls are not checked, execution may continue with failed encrypts. It also seems that these two crypto_aead_encrypt calls are the only instances in the codebase that are not checked for errors.

mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()

2020-08-07T18:33:22+00:00

As said by Linus: A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use. Otherwise it's actively misleading. In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the caller wants. In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_. The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory objects. Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit. In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure that it won't get optimized away by the compiler. The renaming is done by using the command sequence: git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\ xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/' followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

mac80211: use crypto_aead_authsize()

2017-10-11T13:46:45+00:00

Evidently this API is intended to be used to isolate against API changes, so use it instead of accessing ->authsize. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: aead api to reduce redundancy

2017-10-11T07:37:35+00:00

Currently, the aes_ccm.c and aes_gcm.c are almost line by line copy of each other. This patch reduce code redundancy by moving the code in these two files to crypto/aead_api.c to make it a higher level aead api. The file aes_ccm.c and aes_gcm.c are removed and all the functions there are now implemented in their headers using the newly added aead api. Signed-off-by: Xiang Gao Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
