commit 3fc89adb9fa4beff31374a4bf50b3d099d88ae83 upstream.

Currently a number of Crypto API operations may fail when a signal
occurs.  This causes nasty problems as the caller of those operations
are often not in a good position to restart the operation.

In fact there is currently no need for those operations to be
interrupted by user signals at all.  All we need is for them to
be killable.

This patch replaces the relevant calls of signal_pending with
fatal_signal_pending, and wait_for_completion_interruptible with
wait_for_completion_killable, respectively.

commit 8996eafdcbad149ac0f772fb1649fbb75c482a6a upstream.

Unlike shash algorithms, ahash drivers must implement export
and import as their descriptors may contain hardware state and
cannot be exported as is.  Unfortunately some ahash drivers did
not provide them and end up causing crashes with algif_hash.

This patch adds a check to prevent these drivers from registering
ahash algorithms until they are fixed.

commit f2b3dee484f9cee967a54ef05a66866282337519 upstream.

The call to asymmetric_key_hex_to_key_id() from ca_keys_setup()
silently fails with -ENOMEM.  Instead of dynamically allocating
memory from a __setup function, this patch defines a variable
and calls __asymmetric_key_hex_to_key_id(), a new helper function,
directly.

This bug was introduced by 'commit 46963b774d44 ("KEYS: Overhaul
key identification when searching for asymmetric keys")'.

Changelog:
- for clarification, rename hexlen to asciihexlen in
  asymmetric_key_hex_to_key_id()
- add size argument to __asymmetric_key_hex_to_key_id() - David Howells
- inline __asymmetric_key_hex_to_key_id() - David Howells
- remove duplicate strlen() calls

The newly added AEAD user-space isn't quite ready for prime time
just yet.  In particular it is conflicting with the AEAD single
SG list interface change so this patch disables it now.

Once the SG list stuff is completely done we can then renable
this interface.

     DLM.  Code is not ready for general use and triggers a WARNING if
     used.  However it is looking good and mostly done and having in
     mainline will help co-ordinate development.

   - RAID5/6 can now batch multiple (4K wide) stripe_heads so as to
     handle a full (chunk wide) stripe as a single unit.

   - RAID6 can now perform read-modify-write cycles which should help
     performance on larger arrays: 6 or more devices.

   - RAID5/6 stripe cache now grows and shrinks dynamically.  The value
     set is used as a minimum.

   - Resync is now allowed to go a little faster than the 'mininum' when
     there is competing IO.  How much faster depends on the speed of the

Glue it altogehter. The raid6 rmw path should work the same as the
already existing raid5 logic. So emulate the prexor handling/flags
and split functions as needed.

1) Enable xor_syndrome() in the async layer.

2) Split ops_run_prexor() into RAID4/5 and RAID6 logic. Xor the syndrome
at the start of a rmw run as we did it before for the single parity.

3) Take care of rmw run in ops_run_reconstruct6(). Again process only
the changed pages to get syndrome back into sync.

4) Enhance set_syndrome_sources() to fill NULL pages if we are in a rmw
run. The lower layers will calculate start &amp; end pages from that and
call the xor_syndrome() correspondingly.

5) Adapt the several places where we ignored Q handling up to now.

Performance numbers for a single E5630 system with a mix of 10 7200k
desktop/server disks. 300 seconds random write with 8 threads onto a
3,2TB (10*400GB) RAID6 64K chunk without spare (group_thread_cnt=4)

Commit 9c521a200bc3 ("crypto: api - remove instance when test failed")
tried to grab a module reference count before the module was even set.

Worse, it then goes on to free the module reference count after it is
set so you quickly end up with a negative module reference count which
prevents people from using any instances belonging to that module.

This patch moves the module initialisation before the reference
count.
