Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- A major update for DM cache that reduces the latency for deciding
whether blocks should migrate to/from the cache. The bio-prison-v2
interface supports this improvement by enabling direct dispatch of
work to workqueues rather than having to delay the actual work
dispatch to the DM cache core. So the dm-cache policies are much more
nimble by being able to drive IO as they see fit. One immediate
benefit from the improved latency is a cache that should be much more
adaptive to changing workloads.
- Add a new DM integrity target that emulates a block device that has
additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity
information.
- Add a new authenticated encryption feature to the DM crypt target
that builds on the capabilities provided by the DM integrity target.
- Add MD interface for switching the raid4/5/6 journal mode and update
the DM raid target to use it to enable aid4/5/6 journal write-back
support.
- Switch the DM verity target over to using the asynchronous hash
crypto API (this helps work better with architectures that have
access to off-CPU algorithm providers, which should reduce CPU
utilization).
- Various request-based DM and DM multipath fixes and improvements from
Bart and Christoph.
- A DM thinp target fix for a bio structure leak that occurs for each
discard IFF discard passdown is enabled.
- A fix for a possible deadlock in DM bufio and a fix to re-check the
new buffer allocation watermark in the face of competing admin
changes to the 'max_cache_size_bytes' tunable.
- A couple DM core cleanups.

There is no need to have a duplication of the generic library, i.e. hex2bin().
Replace the open coded variant.

Running dm-crypt with workqueues at the standard priority results in IO
competing for CPU time with standard user apps, which can lead to
pipeline bubbles and seriously degraded performance. Move to using
WQ_HIGHPRI workqueues to protect against that.

The message "key wipe" used to wipe real key stored in crypto layer by
rewriting it with zeroes. Since commit 28856a9 ("crypto: xts -
consolidate sanity check for keys") this no longer works in FIPS mode
for XTS.
While running in FIPS mode the crypto key part has to differ from the
tweak key.

Previously, dm-crypt could use blocks composed of multiple 512b sectors
but it created integrity profile for each 512b sector (it padded it with
zeroes). Fix dm-crypt so that the integrity profile is sent for each
block not each sector.
The user must use the same block size in the DM crypt and integrity
targets.

Add optional "sector_size" parameter that specifies encryption sector
size (atomic unit of block device encryption).
Parameter can be in range 512 - 4096 bytes and must be power of two.
For compatibility reasons, the maximal IO must fit into the page limit,
so the limit is set to the minimal page size possible (4096 bytes).
NOTE: this device cannot yet be handled by cryptsetup if this parameter
is set.
IV for the sector is calculated from the 512 bytes sector offset unless
the iv_large_sectors option is used.
Test script using dmsetup:
DEV="/dev/sdb"
DEV_SIZE=$(blockdev --getsz $DEV)
KEY="9c1185a5c5e9fc54612808977ee8f548b2258d31ddadef707ba62c166051b9e3cd0294c27515f2bccee924e8823ca6e124b8fc3167ed478bca702babe4e130ac"

For the new authenticated encryption we have to support generic composed
modes (combination of encryption algorithm and authenticator) because
this is how the kernel crypto API accesses such algorithms.
To simplify the interface, we accept an algorithm directly in crypto API
format. The new format is recognised by the "capi:" prefix. The
dmcrypt internal IV specification is the same as for the old format.
The crypto API cipher specifications format is:
capi:cipher_api_spec-ivmode[:ivopts]
Examples:
capi:cbc(aes)-essiv:sha256 (equivalent to old aes-cbc-essiv:sha256)
capi:xts(aes)-plain64 (equivalent to old aes-xts-plain64)
Examples of authenticated modes:
capi:gcm(aes)-random
capi:authenc(hmac(sha256),xts(aes))-random
capi:rfc7539(chacha20,poly1305)-random
Authenticated modes can only be configured using the new cipher format.
Note that this format allows user to specify arbitrary combinations that
can be insecure. (Policy decision is done in cryptsetup userspace.)
Authenticated encryption algorithms can be of two types, either native
modes (like GCM) that performs both encryption and authentication
internally, or composed modes where user can compose AEAD with separate
specification of encryption algorithm and authenticator.
For composed mode with HMAC (length-preserving encryption mode like an
XTS and HMAC as an authenticator) we have to calculate HMAC digest size
(the separate authentication key is the same size as the HMAC digest).
Introduce crypt_ctr_auth_cipher() to parse the crypto API string to get
HMAC algorithm and retrieve digest size from it.
Also, for HMAC composed mode we need to parse the crypto API string to
get the cipher mode nested in the specification. For native AEAD mode
(like GCM), we can use crypto_tfm_alg_name() API to get the cipher
specification.
Because the HMAC composed mode is not processed the same as the native
AEAD mode, the CRYPT_MODE_INTEGRITY_HMAC flag is no longer needed and
"hmac" specification for the table integrity argument is removed.

Allow the use of per-sector metadata, provided by the dm-integrity
module, for integrity protection and persistently stored per-sector
Initialization Vector (IV). The underlying device must support the
"DM-DIF-EXT-TAG" dm-integrity profile.
The per-bio integrity metadata is allocated by dm-crypt for every bio.
Example of low-level mapping table for various types of use:

Both AEAD and HMAC protection authenticates not only data but also
sector metadata.
HMAC protection is implemented through autenc wrapper (so it is
processed the same way as an authenticated mode).
In HMAC mode there are two keys (concatenated in dm-crypt mapping
table). First is the encryption key and the second is the key for
authentication (HMAC). (It is userspace decision if these keys are
independent or somehow derived.)
The sector request for AEAD/HMAC authenticated encryption looks like this:
|----- AAD -------|------ DATA -------|-- AUTH TAG --|
| (authenticated) | (auth+encryption) | |
| sector_LE | IV | sector in/out | tag in/out |
For writes, the integrity fields are calculated during AEAD encryption
of every sector and stored in bio integrity fields and sent to
underlying dm-integrity target for storage.
For reads, the integrity metadata is verified during AEAD decryption of
every sector (they are filled in by dm-integrity, but the integrity
fields are pre-allocated in dm-crypt).
There is also an experimental support in cryptsetup utility for more
friendly configuration (part of LUKS2 format).
Because the integrity fields are not valid on initial creation, the
device must be "formatted". This can be done by direct-io writes to the
device (e.g. dd in direct-io mode). For now, there is available trivial
tool to do this, see: https://github.com/mbroz/dm_int_tools

rcu_dereference_key() and user_key_payload() are currently being used in
two different, incompatible ways:
(1) As a wrapper to rcu_dereference() - when only the RCU read lock used
to protect the key.
(2) As a wrapper to rcu_dereference_protected() - when the key semaphor is
used to protect the key and the may be being modified.
Fix this by splitting both of the key wrappers to produce:
(1) RCU accessors for keys when caller has the key semaphore locked:
dereference_key_locked()
user_key_payload_locked()
(2) RCU accessors for keys when caller holds the RCU read lock:
dereference_key_rcu()
user_key_payload_rcu()
This should fix following warning in the NFS idmapper

The lockdep splat below hints at a bug in RCU usage in dm-crypt that
was introduced with commit c538f6ec9f56 ("dm crypt: add ability to use
keys from the kernel key retention service"). The kernel keyring
function user_key_payload() is in fact a wrapper for
rcu_dereference_protected() which must not be called with only
rcu_read_lock() section mark.
Unfortunately the kernel keyring subsystem doesn't currently provide
an interface that allows the use of an RCU read-side section. So for
now we must drop RCU in favour of rwsem until a proper function is
made available in the kernel keyring subsystem.

This is a nasty interface and setting the state of a foreign task must
not be done. As of the following commit:
be628be0956 ("bcache: Make gc wakeup sane, remove set_task_state()")
... everyone in the kernel calls set_task_state() with current, allowing
the helper to be removed.
However, as the comment indicates, it is still around for those archs
where computing current is more expensive than using a pointer, at least
in theory. An important arch that is affected is arm64, however this has
been addressed now [1] and performance is up to par making no difference
with either calls.
Of all the callers, if any, it's the locking bits that would care most
about this -- ie: we end up passing a tsk pointer to a lot of the lock
slowpath, and setting ->state on that. The following numbers are based
on two tests: a custom ad-hoc microbenchmark that just measures
latencies (for ~65 million calls) between get_task_state() vs
get_current_state().
Secondly for a higher overview, an unlink microbenchmark was used,
which pounds on a single file with open, close,unlink combos with
increasing thread counts (up to 4x ncpus). While the workload is quite
unrealistic, it does contend a lot on the inode mutex or now rwsem.

x86-64 (known to be fast for get_current()/this_cpu_read_stable() caching)
and ppc64 (with paca) show similar improvements in the unlink microbenches.
The small delta for ppc64 (2ms), does not represent the gains on the unlink
runs. In the case of x86, there was a decent amount of variation in the
latency runs, but always within a 20 to 50ms increase), ppc was more constant.

Unfortunately key_string may theoretically contain whitespace even after
it's processed by dm_split_args(). The reason for this is DM core
supports escaping of almost all chars including any whitespace.
If userspace passes a key to the kernel in format ":32:logon:my_prefix:my\ key"
dm-crypt will look up key "my_prefix:my key" in kernel keyring service.
So far everything's fine.
Unfortunately if userspace later calls DM_TABLE_STATUS ioctl, it will not
receive back expected ":32:logon:my_prefix:my\ key" but the unescaped version
instead. Also userpace (most notably cryptsetup) is not ready to parse
single target argument containing (even escaped) whitespace chars and any
whitespace is simply taken as delimiter of another argument.
This effect is mitigated by the fact libdevmapper curently performs
double escaping of '\' char. Any user input in format "x\ x" is
transformed into "x\\ x" before being passed to the kernel. Nonetheless
dm-crypt may be used without libdevmapper. Therefore the near-term
solution to this is to reject any key string containing whitespace.

The kernel key service is a generic way to store keys for the use of
other subsystems. Currently there is no way to use kernel keys in dm-crypt.
This patch aims to fix that. Instead of key userspace may pass a key
description with preceding ':'. So message that constructs encryption
mapping now looks like this:
<cipher> [<key>|:<key_string>] <iv_offset> <dev_path> <start> [<#opt_params> <opt_params>]
where <key_string> is in format: <key_size>:<key_type>:<key_description>
Currently we only support two elementary key types: 'user' and 'logon'.
Keys may be loaded in dm-crypt either via <key_string> or using
classical method and pass the key in hex representation directly.
dm-crypt device initialised with a key passed in hex representation may be
replaced with key passed in key_string format and vice versa.

In crypt_set_key(), if a failure occurs while replacing the old key
(e.g. tfm->setkey() fails) the key must not have DM_CRYPT_KEY_VALID flag
set. Otherwise, the crypto layer would have an invalid key that still
has DM_CRYPT_KEY_VALID flag set.

Use bio_add_page(), the standard interface for adding a page to a bio,
rather than open-coding the same.
It should be noted that the 'clone' bio that is allocated using
bio_alloc_bioset(), in crypt_alloc_buffer(), does _not_ set the
bio's BIO_CLONED flag. As such, bio_add_page()'s early return for true
bio clones (those with BIO_CLONED set) isn't applicable.

Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range
of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and
request fields. This in addition allows us to place the operation
first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to
stop having to shift around the operation values.
In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer
instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do
that later) and thus clean up a lot of code.
Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags
field in struct request to 32-bits. Various functions passing this
value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now.

As the documentation for kthread_stop() says, "if threadfn() may call
do_exit() itself, the caller must ensure task_struct can't go away".
dm-crypt does not ensure this and therefore crashes when crypt_dtr()
calls kthread_stop(). The crash is trivially reproducible by adding a
delay before the call to kthread_stop() and just opening and closing a
dm-crypt device.

This problem was introduced by bcbd94ff481e ("dm crypt: fix a possible
hang due to race condition on exit").
Looking at the description of that patch (excerpted below), it seems
like the problem it addresses can be solved by just using
set_current_state instead of __set_current_state, since we obviously
need the memory barrier.
| dm crypt: fix a possible hang due to race condition on exit
|
| A kernel thread executes __set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE),
| __add_wait_queue, spin_unlock_irq and then tests kthread_should_stop().
| It is possible that the processor reorders memory accesses so that
| kthread_should_stop() is executed before __set_current_state(). If
| such reordering happens, there is a possible race on thread
| termination: [...]
So this patch just reverts the aforementioned patch and changes the
__set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) to set_current_state(...). This
fixes the crash and should also fix the potential hang.

When dm-crypt processes writes, it allocates a new bio in
crypt_alloc_buffer(). The bio is allocated from a bio set and it can
have at most BIO_MAX_PAGES vector entries, however the incoming bio can be
larger (e.g. if it was allocated by bcache). If the incoming bio is
larger, bio_alloc_bioset() fails and an error is returned.
To avoid the error, we test for a too large bio in the function
crypt_map() and use dm_accept_partial_bio() to split the bio.
dm_accept_partial_bio() trims the current bio to the desired size and
asks DM core to send another bio with the rest of the data.

A kernel thread executes __set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE),
__add_wait_queue, spin_unlock_irq and then tests kthread_should_stop().
It is possible that the processor reorders memory accesses so that
kthread_should_stop() is executed before __set_current_state(). If such
reordering happens, there is a possible race on thread termination:
CPU 0:
calls kthread_should_stop()
it tests KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP bit, returns false
CPU 1:
calls kthread_stop(cc->write_thread)
sets the KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP bit
calls wake_up_process on the kernel thread, that sets the thread
state to TASK_RUNNING
CPU 0:
sets __set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
spin_unlock_irq(&cc->write_thread_wait.lock)
schedule() - and the process is stuck and never terminates, because the
state is TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and wake_up_process on CPU 1 already
terminated
Fix this race condition by using a new flag DM_CRYPT_EXIT_THREAD to
signal that the kernel thread should exit. The flag is set and tested
while holding cc->write_thread_wait.lock, so there is no possibility of
racy access to the flag.
Also, remove the unnecessary set_task_state(current, TASK_RUNNING)
following the schedule() call. When the process was woken up, its state
was already set to TASK_RUNNING. Other kernel code also doesn't set the
state to TASK_RUNNING following schedule() (for example,
do_wait_for_common in completion.c doesn't do it).

sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where th |
