2016-01-27ext4: Use skcipherHerbert Xu
This patch replaces uses of ablkcipher with skcipher. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2015-06-03ext4 crypto: allocate bounce pages using GFP_NOWAITTheodore Ts'o
Previously we allocated bounce pages using a combination of alloc_page() and mempool_alloc() with the __GFP_WAIT bit set. Instead, use mempool_alloc() with GFP_NOWAIT. The mempool_alloc() function will try using alloc_pages() initially, and then only use the mempool reserve of pages if alloc_pages() is unable to fulfill the request. This minimizes the the impact on the mm layer when we need to do a large amount of writeback of encrypted files, as Jaeguk Kim had reported that under a heavy fio workload on a system with restricted amounts memory (which unfortunately, includes many mobile handsets), he had observed the the OOM killer getting triggered several times. Using GFP_NOWAIT If the mempool_alloc() function fails, we will retry the page writeback at a later time; the function of the mempool is to ensure that we can writeback at least 32 pages at a time, so we can more efficiently dispatch I/O under high memory pressure situations. In the future we should make this be a tunable so we can determine the best tradeoff between permanently sequestering memory and the ability to quickly launder pages so we can free up memory quickly when necessary.

2015-05-31ext4 crypto: use per-inode tfm structureTheodore Ts'o
As suggested by Herbert Xu, we shouldn't allocate a new tfm each time we read or write a page. Instead we can use a single tfm hanging off the inode's crypt_info structure for all of our encryption needs for that inode, since the tfm can be used by multiple crypto requests in parallel. Also use cmpxchg() to avoid races that could result in crypt_info structure getting doubly allocated or doubly freed. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2015-05-31ext4 crypto: shrink size of the ext4_crypto_ctx structureTheodore Ts'o
Some fields are only used when the crypto_ctx is being used on the read path, some are only used on the write path, and some are only used when the structure is on free list. Optimize memory use by using a union. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2015-05-18ext4 crypto: get rid of ci_mode from struct ext4_crypt_infoTheodore Ts'o
The ci_mode field was superfluous, and getting rid of it gets rid of an unused hole in the structure. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2015-05-18ext4 crypto: reorganize how we store keys in the inodeTheodore Ts'o
This is a pretty massive patch which does a number of different things: 1) The per-inode encryption information is now stored in an allocated data structure, ext4_crypt_info, instead of directly in the node. This reduces the size usage of an in-memory inode when it is not using encryption. 2) We drop the ext4_fname_crypto_ctx entirely, and use the per-inode encryption structure instead. This remove an unnecessary memory allocation and free for the fname_crypto_ctx as well as allowing us to reuse the ctfm in a directory for multiple lookups and file creations. 3) We also cache the inode's policy information in the ext4_crypt_info structure so we don't have to continually read it out of the extended attributes. 4) We now keep the keyring key in the inode's encryption structure instead of releasing it after we are done using it to derive the per-inode key. This allows us to test to see if the key has been revoked; if it has, we prevent the use of the derived key and free it. 5) When an inode is released (or when the derived key is freed), we will use memset_explicit() to zero out the derived key, so it's not left hanging around in memory. This implies that when a user logs out, it is important to first revoke the key, and then unlink it, and then finally, to use "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to release any decrypted pages and dcache entries from the system caches. 6) All this, and we also shrink the number of lines of code by around 100. :-) Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2015-05-18ext4 crypto: separate kernel and userspace structure for the keyTheodore Ts'o
Use struct ext4_encryption_key only for the master key passed via the kernel keyring. For internal kernel space users, we now use struct ext4_crypt_info. This will allow us to put information from the policy structure so we can cache it and avoid needing to constantly looking up the extended attribute. We will do this in a spearate patch. This patch is mostly mechnical to make it easier for patch review. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

2015-05-01ext4 crypto: add padding to filenames before encryptingTheodore Ts'o
This obscures the length of the filenames, to decrease the amount of information leakage. By default, we pad the filenames to the next 4 byte boundaries. This costs nothing, since the directory entries are aligned to 4 byte boundaries anyway. Filenames can also be padded to 8, 16, or 32 bytes, which will consume more directory space.

2015-04-12ext4 crypto: add ext4 encryption facilitiesMichael Halcrow
On encrypt, we will re-assign the buffer_heads to point to a bounce page rather than the control_page (which is the original page to write that contains the plaintext). The block I/O occurs against the bounce page. On write completion, we re-assign the buffer_heads to the original plaintext page. On decrypt, we will attach a read completion callback to the bio struct. This read completion will decrypt the read contents in-place prior to setting the page up-to-date. The current encryption mode, AES-256-XTS, lacks cryptographic integrity. AES-256-GCM is in-plan, but we will need to devise a mechanism for handling the integrity data.
