2007-10-10[CRYPTO] cryptomgr: Fix parsing of recursive algorithmsHerbert Xu
As Joy Latten points out, inner algorithm parameters will miss the closing bracket which will also cause the outer algorithm to terminate prematurely. This patch fixes that also kills the WARN_ON if the number of parameters exceed the maximum as that is a user error. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-10-10[CRYPTO] api: Add support for multiple template parametersHerbert Xu
This patch adds support for having multiple parameters to a template, separated by a comma. It also adds support for integer parameters in addition to the current algorithm parameter type. This will be used by the authenc template which will have four parameters: the authentication algorithm, the encryption algorithm, the authentication size and the encryption key length.

2007-05-09[CRYPTO] cryptomgr: Fix use after freeHerbert Xu
By the time kthread_run returns the param may have already been freed so writing the returned thread_struct pointer to param is wrong. In fact, we don't need it in param anyway so this patch simply puts it on the stack. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-05-02[CRYPTO] cryptomgr: Fix parsing of nested templates Herbert Xu
This patch allows the use of nested templates by allowing the use of brackets inside a template parameter. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-05-02[CRYPTO] templates: Pass type/mask when creating instancesHerbert Xu
This patch passes the type/mask along when constructing instances of templates. This is in preparation for templates that may support multiple types of instances depending on what is requested. For example, the planned software async crypto driver will use this construct. For the moment this allows us to check whether the instance constructed is of the correct type and avoid returning success if the type does not match.

2006-11-22WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context dataDavid Howells
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Added spawnsHerbert Xu
Spawns lock a specific crypto algorithm in place. They can then be used with crypto_spawn_tfm to allocate a tfm for that algorithm. When the base algorithm of a spawn is deregistered, all its spawns will be automatically removed. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Allow algorithm lookup by typeHerbert Xu
This patch also adds the infrastructure to pick an algorithm based on their type. For example, this allows you to select the encryption algorithm "aes", instead of any algorithm registered under the name "aes". For now this is only accessible internally. Eventually it will be made available through crypto_alloc_tfm. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Add cryptomgrHerbert Xu
The cryptomgr module is a simple manager of crypto algorithm instances. It ensures that parameterised algorithms of the type tmpl(alg) (e.g., cbc(aes)) are always created. This is meant to satisfy the needs for most users. For more complex cases such as deeper combinations or multiple parameters, a netlink module will be created which allows arbitrary expressions to be parsed in user-space.
