This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must
set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to return msg_name to the user.
This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the
recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak
uninitialized memory.
Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't
need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the
recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must
cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets
msg_name to NULL.
Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David
Miller.
Changes since RFC:
Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of
verify_iovec.
With this change in place I could remove "
if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0)
msg->msg_name = NULL
".
This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore
msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL.
Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change
comments to netdev style.

The current code does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore
makes net/socket.c leak the local sockaddr_storage variable to userland
-- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory. Fix that.

As it is if user-space passes through a receive buffer that's not
aligned to to the cipher block size, we'll end up encrypting or
decrypting a partial block which causes a spurious EINVAL to be
returned.
This patch fixes this by moving the partial block test after the
af_alg_make_sg call.

When sk_sndbuf is not a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, the limit tests
in sendmsg fail as the limit variable becomes negative and we're
using an unsigned comparison.
The same thing can happen if sk_sndbuf is lowered after a sendmsg
call.
This patch fixes this by always taking the signed maximum of limit
and 0 before we perform the comparison.
It also rounds the value of sk_sndbuf down to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE
so that we don't end up allocating a page only to use a small number
of bytes in it because we're bound by sk_sndbuf.

The error returned from af_alg_make_sg is currently lost and we
always pass on -EINVAL. This patch pases on the underlying error.

This patch adds the af_alg plugin for symmetric key ciphers,
corresponding to the ablkcipher kernel operation type.
Keys can optionally be set through the setsockopt interface.
Once a sendmsg call occurs without MSG_MORE no further writes
may be made to the socket until all previous data has been read.
IVs and and whether encryption/decryption is performed can be
set through the setsockopt interface or as a control message
to sendmsg.
The interface is completely synchronous, all operations are
carried out in recvmsg(2) and will complete prior to the system
call returning.
The splice(2) interface support reading the user-space data directly
without copying (except that the Crypto API itself may copy the data
if alignment is off).
The recvmsg(2) interface supports directly writing to user-space
without additional copying, i.e., the kernel crypto interface will
receive the user-space address as its output SG list.
Thakns to Miloslav Trmac for reviewing this and contributing
fixes and improvements.
