Write requests are sorted in a red-black tree structure and are
submitted in the sorted order.
In theory the sorting should be performed by the underlying disk
scheduler, however, in practice the disk scheduler only accepts and
sorts a finite number of requests. To allow the sorting of all
requests, dm-crypt needs to implement its own sorting.
The overhead associated with rbtree-based sorting is considered
negligible so it is not used conditionally. Even on SSD sorting can be
beneficial since in-order request dispatch promotes lower latency IO
completion to the upper layers.

Make it possible to disable offloading writes by setting the optional
'submit_from_crypt_cpus' table argument.
There are some situations where offloading write bios from the
encryption threads to a single thread degrades performance
significantly.
The default is to offload write bios to the same thread because it
benefits CFQ to have writes submitted using the same IO context.

Submitting write bios directly in the encryption thread caused serious
performance degradation. On a multiprocessor machine, encryption requests
finish in a different order than they were submitted. Consequently, write
requests would be submitted in a different order and it could cause severe
performance degradation.
Move the submission of write requests to a separate thread so that the
requests can be sorted before submitting. But this commit improves
dm-crypt performance even without having dm-crypt perform request
sorting (in particular it enables IO schedulers like CFQ to sort more
effectively).
Note: it is required that a previous commit ("dm crypt: don't allocate

Fix a theoretical deadlock introduced in the previous commit ("dm crypt:
don't allocate pages for a partial request").
The function crypt_alloc_buffer may be called concurrently. If we allocate
from the mempool concurrently, there is a possibility of deadlock. For
example, if we have mempool of 256 pages, two processes, each wanting
256, pages allocate from the mempool concurrently, it may deadlock in a
situation where both processes have allocated 128 pages and the mempool
is exhausted.
To avoid such a scenario we allocate the pages under a mutex. In order
to not degrade performance with excessive locking, we try non-blocking
allocations without a mutex first and if that fails, we fallback to a
blocking allocations with a mutex.

The DM crypt target accesses memory beyond allocated space resulting in
a crash on 32 bit x86 systems.
This bug is very old (it dates back to 2.6.25 commit 3a7f6c990a "dm
crypt: use async crypto"). However, this bug was masked by the fact
that kmalloc rounds the size up to the next power of two. This bug
wasn't exposed until 3.17-rc1 commit 298a9fa08a ("dm crypt: use per-bio
data"). By switching to using per-bio data there was no longer any
padding beyond the end of a dm-crypt allocated memory block.
To minimize allocation overhead dm-crypt puts several structures into one
block allocated with kmalloc. The block holds struct ablkcipher_request,
cipher-specific scratch pad (crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize(any_tfm(cc))),
struct dm_crypt_request and an initialization vector.
The variable dmreq_start is set to offset of struct dm_crypt_request
within this memory block. dm-crypt allocates the block with this size:
cc->dmreq_start + sizeof(struct dm_crypt_request) + cc->iv_size.
When accessing the initialization vector, dm-crypt uses the function
iv_of_dmreq, which performs this calculation: ALIGN((unsigned long)(dmreq
+ 1), crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) + 1).
dm-crypt allocated "cc->iv_size" bytes beyond the end of dm_crypt_request
structure. However, when dm-crypt accesses the initialization vector, it
takes a pointer to the end of dm_crypt_request, aligns it, and then uses
it as the initialization vector. If the end of dm_crypt_request is not
aligned on a crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) boundary the
alignment causes the initialization vector to point beyond the allocated
space.
Fix this bug by calculating the variable iv_size_padding and adding it
to the allocated size.
Also correct the alignment of dm_crypt_request. struct dm_crypt_request
is specific to dm-crypt (it isn't used by the crypto subsystem at all),
so it is aligned on __alignof__(struct dm_crypt_request).
Also align per_bio_data_size on ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN, so that it is
aligned as if the block was allocated with kmalloc.

Change dm-crypt so that it uses auxiliary data allocated with the bio.
Dm-crypt requires two allocations per request - struct dm_crypt_io and
struct ablkcipher_request (with other data appended to it). It
previously only used mempool allocations.
Some requests may require more dm_crypt_ios and ablkcipher_requests,
however most requests need just one of each of these two structures to
complete.
This patch changes it so that the first dm_crypt_io and ablkcipher_request
are allocated with the bio (using target per_bio_data_size option). If
the request needs additional values, they are allocated from the mempool.

The DM crypt target used per-cpu structures to hold pointers to a
ablkcipher_request structure. The code assumed that the work item keeps
executing on a single CPU, so it didn't use synchronization when
accessing this structure.
If a CPU is disabled by writing 0 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online,
the work item could be moved to another CPU. This causes dm-crypt
crashes, like the following, because the code starts using an incorrect
ablkcipher_request:

Fix this bug by removing the per-cpu definition. The structure
ablkcipher_request is accessed via a pointer from convert_context.
Consequently, if the work item is rescheduled to a different CPU, the
thread still uses the same ablkcipher_request.
This change may undermine performance improvements intended by commit
c0297721 ("dm crypt: scale to multiple cpus") on select hardware. In
practice no performance difference was observed on recent hardware. But
regardless, correctness is more important than performance.

dm-crypt can already activate TCRYPT (TrueCrypt compatible) containers
in LRW or XTS block encryption mode.
TCRYPT containers prior to version 4.1 use CBC mode with some additional
tweaks, this patch adds support for these containers.
This new mode is implemented using special IV generator named TCW
(TrueCrypt IV with whitening). TCW IV only supports containers that are
encrypted with one cipher (Tested with AES, Twofish, Serpent, CAST5 and
TripleDES).
While this mode is legacy and is known to be vulnerable to some
watermarking attacks (e.g. revealing of hidden disk existence) it can
still be useful to activate old containers without using 3rd party
software or for independent forensic analysis of such containers.
(Both the userspace and kernel code is an independent implementation
based on the format documentation and it completely avoids use of
original source code.)
The TCW IV generator uses two additional keys: Kw (whitening seed, size
is always 16 bytes - TCW_WHITENING_SIZE) and Kiv (IV seed, size is
always the IV size of the selected cipher). These keys are concatenated
at the end of the main encryption key provided in mapping table.
While whitening is completely independent from IV, it is implemented
inside IV generator for simplification.
The whitening value is always 16 bytes long and is calculated per sector
from provided Kw as initial seed, xored with sector number and mixed
with CRC32 algorithm. Resulting value is xored with ciphertext sector
content.
IV is calculated from the provided Kiv as initial IV seed and xored with
sector number.
Detailed calculation can be found in the Truecrypt documentation for
version < 4.1 and will also be described on dm-crypt site, see:
http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/wiki/DMCrypt
The experimental support for activation of these containers is already
present in git devel brach of cryptsetup.

Some encryption modes use extra keys (e.g. loopAES has IV seed) which
are not used in block cipher initialization but are part of key string
in table constructor.
This patch adds an additional field which describes the length of the
extra key(s) and substracts it before real key encryption setting.
The key_size always includes the size, in bytes, of the key provided
in mapping table.
The key_parts describes how many parts (usually keys) are contained in
the whole key buffer. And key_extra_size contains size in bytes of
additional keys part (this number of bytes must be subtracted because it
is processed by the IV generator).
| K1 | K2 | .... | K64 | Kiv |
|----------- key_size ----------------- |
| |-key_extra_size-|
| [64 keys] | [1 key] | => key_parts = 65
Example where key string contains main key K, whitening key
Kw and IV seed Kiv:
| K | Kiv | Kw |
|--------------- key_size --------------|
| |-----key_extra_size------|
| [1 key] | [1 key] | [1 key] | => key_parts = 3
Because key_extra_size is calculated during IV mode setting, key
initialization is moved after this step.
For now, this change has no effect to supported modes (thanks to ilog2
rounding) but it is required by the following patch.
Also, fix a sparse warning in crypt_iv_lmk_one().

More prep work for immutable bvecs:
A few places in the code were either open coding or using the wrong
version - fix.
After we introduce the bvec iter, it'll no longer be possible to modify
the biovec through bio_for_each_segment_all() - it doesn't increment a
pointer to the current bvec, you pass in a struct bio_vec (not a
pointer) which is updated with what the current biovec would be (taking
into account bi_bvec_done and bi_size).
So because of that it's more worthwhile to be consistent about
bio_for_each_segment()/bio_for_each_segment_all() usage.

Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.
When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.
However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.
If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.
In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.
This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

Device mapper uses sscanf to convert arguments to numbers. The problem is that
the way we use it ignores additional unmatched characters in the scanned string.
For example, this `if (sscanf(string, "%d", &number) == 1)' will match a number,
but also it will match number with some garbage appended, like "123abc".
As a result, device mapper accepts garbage after some numbers. For example
the command `dmsetup create vg1-new --table "0 16384 linear 254:1bla 34816bla"'
will pass without an error.
This patch fixes all sscanf uses in device mapper. It appends "%c" with
a pointer to a dummy character variable to every sscanf statement.
The construct `if (sscanf(string, "%d%c", &number, &dummy) == 1)' succeeds
only if string is a null-terminated number (optionally preceded by some
whitespace characters). If there is some character appended after the number,
sscanf matches "%c", writes the character to the dummy variable and returns 2.
We check the return value for 1 and consequently reject numbers with some
garbage appended.

This patch fixes a possible deadlock in dm-crypt's mempool use.
Currently, dm-crypt reserves a mempool of MIN_BIO_PAGES reserved pages.
It allocates first MIN_BIO_PAGES with non-failing allocation (the allocation
cannot fail and waits until the mempool is refilled). Further pages are
allocated with different gfp flags that allow failing.
Because allocations may be done in parallel, this code can deadlock. Example:
There are two processes, each tries to allocate MIN_BIO_PAGES and the processes
run simultaneously.
It may end up in a situation where each process allocates (MIN_BIO_PAGES / 2)
pages. The mempool is exhausted. Each process waits for more pages to be freed

To avoid this deadlock scenario, this patch changes the code so that only
the first page is allocated with non-failing gfp mask. Allocation of further
pages may fail.

If optional discard support in dm-crypt is enabled, discards requests
bypass the crypt queue and blocks of the underlying device are discarded.
For the read path, discarded blocks are handled the same as normal
ciphertext blocks, thus decrypted.
So if the underlying device announces discarded regions return zeroes,
dm-crypt must disable this flag because after decryption there is just
random noise instead of zeroes.

Add optional parameter field to dmcrypt table and support
"allow_discards" option.
Discard requests bypass crypt queue processing. Bio is simple remapped
to underlying device.
Note that discard will be never enabled by default because of security
consequences. It is up to the administrator to enable it for encrypted
devices.
(Note that userspace cryptsetup does not understand new optional
parameters yet. Support for this will come later. Until then, you
should use 'dmsetup' to enable and disable this.)

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().

This patch adds a compatible implementation of the block
chaining mode used by the Loop-AES block device encryption
system (http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/) designed
by Jari Ruusu.
It operates on full 512 byte sectors and uses CBC
with an IV derived from the sector number, the data and
optionally extra IV seed.
This means that after CBC decryption the first block of sector
must be tweaked according to decrypted data.
Loop-AES can use three encryption schemes:
version 1: is plain aes-cbc mode (already compatible)
version 2: uses 64 multikey scheme with own IV generator
version 3: the same as version 2 with additional IV seed
(it uses 65 keys, last key is used as IV seed)
The IV generator is here named lmk (Loop-AES multikey)
and for the cipher specification looks like: aes:64-cbc-lmk
Version 2 and 3 is recognised according to length
of provided multi-key string (which is just hexa encoded
"raw key" used in original Loop-AES ioctl).
Configuration of the device and decoding key string will
be done in userspace (cryptsetup).
(Loop-AES stores keys in gpg encrypted file, raw keys are
output of simple hashing of lines in this file).
Based on an implementation by Max Vozeler:

This patch adds generic multikey handling to be used
in following patch for Loop-AES mode compatibility.
This patch extends mapping table to optional keycount and
implements generic multi-key capability.
With more keys defined the <key> string is divided into
several <keycount> sections and these are used for tfms.
The tfm is used according to sector offset
(sector 0->tfm[0], sector 1->tfm[1], sector N->tfm[N modulo keycount])
(only power of two values supported for keycount here).
Because of tfms per-cpu allocation, this mode can be take
a lot of memory on large smp systems.

IV (initialisation vector) can in principle depend not only
on sector but also on plaintext data (or other attributes).
Change IV generator interface to work directly with dmreq
structure to allow such dependence in generator.
Also add post() function which is called after the crypto
operation.
This allows tricky modification of decrypted data or IV
internals.
In asynchronous mode the post() can be called after
ctx->sector count was increased so it is needed
to add iv_sector copy directly to dmreq structure.
(N.B. dmreq always include only one sector in scatterlists)

Currently dm-crypt does all the encryption work for a single dm-crypt
mapping in a single workqueue. This does not scale well when multiple
CPUs are submitting IO at a high rate. The single CPU running the single
thread cannot keep up with the encryption and encrypted IO performance
tanks.
This patch changes the crypto workqueue to be per CPU. This means
that as long as the IO submitter (or the interrupt target CPUs
for reads) runs on different CPUs the encryption work will be also
parallel.
To avoid a bottleneck on the IO worker I also changed those to be
per-CPU threads.
There is still some shared data, so I suspect some bouncing
cache lines. But I haven't done a detailed study on that yet.
