In current implementation, tls records are encrypted & transmitted
serially. Till the time the previously submitted user data is encrypted,
the implementation waits and on finish starts transmitting the record.
This approach of encrypt-one record at a time is inefficient when
asynchronous crypto accelerators are used. For each record, there are
overheads of interrupts, driver softIRQ scheduling etc. Also the crypto
accelerator sits idle most of time while an encrypted record's pages are
handed over to tcp stack for transmission.
This patch enables encryption of multiple records in parallel when an
async capable crypto accelerator is present in system. This is achieved
by allowing the user space application to send more data using sendmsg()
even while previously issued data is being processed by crypto
accelerator. This requires returning the control back to user space
application after submitting encryption request to accelerator. This
also means that zero-copy mode of encryption cannot be used with async
accelerator as we must be done with user space application buffer before
returning from sendmsg().
There can be multiple records in flight to/from the accelerator. Each of
the record is represented by 'struct tls_rec'. This is used to store the
memory pages for the record.
After the records are encrypted, they are added in a linked list called
tx_ready_list which contains encrypted tls records sorted as per tls
sequence number. The records from tx_ready_list are transmitted using a
newly introduced function called tls_tx_records(). The tx_ready_list is
polled for any record ready to be transmitted in sendmsg(), sendpage()
after initiating encryption of new tls records. This achieves parallel
encryption and transmission of records when async accelerator is
present.
There could be situation when crypto accelerator completes encryption
later than polling of tx_ready_list by sendmsg()/sendpage(). Therefore
we need a deferred work context to be able to transmit records from
tx_ready_list. The deferred work context gets scheduled if applications
are not sending much data through the socket. If the applications issue
sendmsg()/sendpage() in quick succession, then the scheduling of
tx_work_handler gets cancelled as the tx_ready_list would be polled from
application's context itself. This saves scheduling overhead of deferred
work.
The patch also brings some side benefit. We are able to get rid of the
concept of CLOSED record. This is because the records once closed are
either encrypted and then placed into tx_ready_list or if encryption
fails, the socket error is set. This simplifies the kernel tls
sendpath. However since tls_device.c is still using macros, accessory
functions for CLOSED records have been retained.

l4 protocols are demuxed by l3num, l4num pair.

This commit gets rid of the l3 mapping, l4 trackers can now be looked up

indirection.
For icmp, ipcmp6 and gre, add a check on state->pf and
return -NF_ACCEPT in case we're asked to track e.g. icmpv6-in-ipv4,
this seems more fitting than using the generic tracker.
Additionally we can kill the 2nd l4proto definitions that were needed

->new() gets invoked after ->error() and before ->packet() if

We can fold it into ->packet() -- the packet() implementations

If its unconfirmed, the conntrack isn't in the hash yet so current
skb created a new conntrack entry.
Only relevant side effect -- if packet() doesn't return NF_ACCEPT

When async support was added it needed to access the sk from the async
callback to report errors up the stack. The patch tried to use space
after the aead request struct by directly setting the reqsize field in
aead_request. This is an internal field that should not be used
outside the crypto APIs. It is used by the crypto code to define extra
space for private structures used in the crypto context. Users of the
API then use crypto_aead_reqsize() and add the returned amount of
bytes to the end of the request memory allocation before posting the
request to encrypt/decrypt APIs.
So this breaks (with general protection fault and KASAN error, if
enabled) because the request sent to decrypt is shorter than required
causing the crypto API out-of-bounds errors. Also it seems unlikely the
sk is even valid by the time it gets to the callback because of memset
in crypto layer.
Anyways, fix this by holding the sk in the skb->sk field when the
callback is set up and because the skb is already passed through to
the callback handler via void* we can access it in the handler. Then
in the handler we need to be careful to NULL the pointer again before
kfree_skb. I added comments on both the setup (in tls_do_decryption)
and when we clear it from the crypto callback handler
tls_decrypt_done(). After this selftests pass again and fixes KASAN
errors/warnings.

lock is safe to inc_ref() without corrupting random memory while

The caches will automatically be merged if there are multiple caches
of items with the same size so we do not need to try to share a cache
between different clients of the same size.
Since the msize is negotiated with the server, only allocate the cache

Rekeying PTK keys without "Extended Key ID for Individually Addressed
Frames" did use a procedure not suitable to replace in-use keys and
could caused the following issues:
1) Freeze caused by incoming frames:
If the local STA installed the key prior to the remote STA we still
had the old key active in the hardware when mac80211 switched over
to the new key.
Therefore there was a window where the card could hand over frames
decoded with the old key to mac80211 and bump the new PN (IV) value
to an incorrect high number. When it happened the local replay
detection silently started to drop all frames sent with the new key.
2) Freeze caused by outgoing frames:
If mac80211 was providing the PN (IV) and handed over a clear text
frame for encryption to the hardware prior to a key change the
driver/card could have processed the queued frame after switching
to the new key. This bumped the PN value on the remote STA to an
incorrect high number, tricking the remote STA to discard all frames
we sent later.
3) Freeze caused by RX aggregation reorder buffer:
An aggregation session started with the old key and ending after the
switch to the new key also bumped the PN to an incorrect high number,
freezing the connection quite similar to 1).
4) Freeze caused by repeating lost frames in an aggregation session:
A driver could repeat a lost frame and encrypt it with the new key
while in a TX aggregation session without updating the PN for the
new key. This also could freeze connections similar to 2).
5) Clear text leak:
Removing encryption offload from the card cleared the encryption
offload flag only after the card had deleted the key and we did not
stop TX during the rekey. The driver/card could therefore get
unencrypted frames from mac80211 while no longer be instructed to
encrypt them.
To prevent those issues the key install logic has been changed:
- Mac80211 divers known to be able to rekey PTK0 keys have to set
@NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CAN_REPLACE_PTK0,
- mac80211 stops queuing frames depending on the key during the replace
- the key is first replaced in the hardware and after that in mac80211
- and mac80211 stops/blocks new aggregation sessions during the rekey.
For drivers not setting
@NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CAN_REPLACE_PTK0 the user space must avoid PTK
rekeys if "Extended Key ID for Individually Addressed Frames" is not
being used. Rekeys for mac80211 drivers without this flag will generate a
warning and use an extra call to ieee80211_flush_queues() to both
highlight and try to prevent the issues with not updated drivers.
The core of the fix changes the key install procedure from:
- atomic switch over to the new key in mac80211
- remove the old key in the hardware (stops encryption offloading, fall
back to software encryption with a potential clear text packet leak
in between)
- delete the inactive old key in mac80211
- enable hardware encryption offloading for the new key
to:
- if it's a PTK mark the old key as tainted to drop TX frames with the
outgoing key
- replace the key in hardware with the new one
- atomic switch over to the new (not marked as tainted) key in
mac80211 (which also resumes TX)
- delete the inactive old key in mac80211
With the new sequence the hardware will be unable to decrypt frames
encrypted with the old key prior to switching to the new key in mac80211
and thus prevent PNs from packets decrypted with the old key to be
accounted against the new key.
For that to work the drivers have to provide a clear boundary.
Mac80211 drivers setting @NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CAN_REPLACE_PTK0 confirm
to provide it and mac80211 will then be able to correctly rekey in-use
PTK keys with those drivers.
The mac80211 requirements for drivers to set the flag have been added to
the "Hardware crypto acceleration" documentation section. It drills down
to:
The drivers must not hand over frames decrypted with the old key to
mac80211 once the call to set_key() with %DISABLE_KEY has been
completed. It's allowed to either drop or continue to use the old key
for any outgoing frames which are already in the queues, but it must not
send out any of them unencrypted or encrypted with the new key.
Even with the new boundary in place aggregation sessions with the
reorder buffer are problematic:
RX aggregation session started prior and completed after the rekey could
still dump frames received with the old key at mac80211 after it
switched over to the new key. This is side stepped by stopping all (RX
and TX) aggregation sessions when replacing a PTK key and hardware key
offloading.
Stopping TX aggregation sessions avoids the need to get
the PNs (IVs) updated in frames prepared for the old key and
(re)transmitted after the switch to the new key. As a bonus it improves
the compatibility when the remote STA is not handling rekeys as it
should.
When using software crypto aggregation sessions are not stopped.
Mac80211 won't be able to decode the dangerous frames and discard them
without special handling.

Make it possibly for drivers to adjust the default skb_pacing_shift
by storing it in the hardware struct.

Depending on whether or not rate control supports selecting
rates depending on the bandwidth, we can use VHT extended
NSS support. In essence, this is dot11VHTExtendedNSSBWCapable
from the spec, since depending on that we'll need to parse
the bandwidth.
If needed, also set/clear the VHT Capability Element bit for
this capability so that we don't advertise it erroneously or
don't advertise it when we actually use it.

Some drivers may want to also use the TXQ abstraction with
non-data packets that need powersave buffering, so add a
hardware flag to allow this.
