I suspect this doesn't show up for most anyone because software
algorithms typically don't have a sense of being too busy. However,
when working with the Freescale CAAM driver it will return -EBUSY on
occasion under heavy -- which resulted in dm-crypt deadlock.
After checking the logic in some other drivers, the scheme for
crypt_convert() and it's callback, kcryptd_async_done(), were not
correctly laid out to properly handle -EBUSY or -EINPROGRESS.
Fix this by using the completion for both -EBUSY and -EINPROGRESS. Now
crypt_convert()'s use of completion is comparable to
af_alg_wait_for_completion(). Similarly, kcryptd_async_done() follows
the pattern used in af_alg_complete().
Before this fix dm-crypt would lockup within 1-2 minutes running with
the CAAM driver. Fix was regression tested against software algorithms
on PPC32 and x86_64, and things seem perfectly happy there as well.

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
pages for a partial request") be applied before applying this patch.

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.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- Significant DM thin-provisioning performance improvements to meet
performance requirements that were requested by the Gluster
distributed filesystem.
Specifically, dm-thinp now takes care to aggregate IO that will be
issued to the same thinp block before issuing IO to the underlying
devices. This really helps improve performance on HW RAID6 devices
that have a writeback cache because it avoids RMW in the HW RAID
controller.
- Some stable fixes: fix leak in DM bufio if integrity profiles were
enabled, use memzero_explicit in DM crypt to avoid any potential for
information leak, and a DM cache fix to properly mark a cache block
dirty if it was promoted to the cache via the overwrite optimization.
- A few simple DM persistent data library fixes
- DM cache multiqueue policy block promotion improvements.
- DM cache discard improvements that take advantage of range
(multiblock) discard support in the DM bio-prison. This allows for
much more efficient bulk discard processing (e.g. when mkfs.xfs
discards the entire device).
- Some small optimizations in DM core and RCU deference cleanups
- DM core changes to suspend/resume code to introduce the new internal
suspend/resume interface that the DM thin-pool target now uses to
suspend/resume active thin devices when the thin-pool must
suspend/resume.
This avoids forcing userspace to track all active thin volumes in a
thin-pool when the thin-pool is suspended for the purposes of
metadata or data space resize.

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.
