[PATCH 0/2] crypto: AF_ALG memory management fix

["Stephan Müller" <smueller@chronox.de>]

Hi Herbert,

please find attached memory management updates to

- simplify the code: the old AIO memory management is very
  complex and seemingly very fragile -- the update now
  eliminates all reported bugs in the skcipher and AEAD
  interfaces which allowed the kernel to be crashed by
  an unprivileged user

- streamline the code: there is one code path for AIO and sync
  operation; the code between algif_skcipher and algif_aead
  is very similar (if that patch set is accepted, I volunteer
  to reduce code duplication by moving service operations
  into af_alg.c and to further unify the TX SGL handling)

- unify the AIO and sync operation which only differ in the
  kernel crypto API callback and whether to wait for the
  crypto operation or not

- fix all reported bugs regarding the handling of multiple
  IOCBs.

The following testing was performed:

- stress testing to verify that no memleaks exist

- testing using Tadeusz Struck AIO test tool (see
  https://github.com/tstruk/afalg_async_test) -- the AEAD test
  is not applicable any more due to the changed user space
  interface; the skcipher test works once the user space
  interface change is honored in the test code

- using the libkcapi test suite, all tests including the
  originally failing ones (AIO with multiple IOCBs) work now --
  the current libkcapi code artificially limits the AEAD
  operation to one IOCB. After altering the libkcapi code
  to allow multiple IOCBs, the testing works flawless.
