<content type='text'>
According to the advice of Eric and Herbert, type CRYPTOA_U32
has been unused for over a decade, so remove the code related to
CRYPTOA_U32.

After removing CRYPTOA_U32, the type of the variable attrs can be
changed from union to struct.

<title>crypto: algapi - use common mechanism for inheriting flags</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7bcb2c99f8ed032cfb3f5596b4dccac6b1f501df</id>
<content type='text'>
The flag CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC is "inherited" in the sense that when a
template is instantiated, the template will have CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set if
any of the algorithms it uses has CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set.

We'd like to add a second flag (CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY) that gets
"inherited" in the same way.  This is difficult because the handling of
CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC is hardcoded everywhere.  Address this by:

  - Add CRYPTO_ALG_INHERITED_FLAGS, which contains the set of flags that
    have these inheritance semantics.

  - Add crypto_algt_inherited_mask(), for use by template -&gt;create()
    methods.  It returns any of these flags that the user asked to be
    unset and thus must be passed in the 'mask' to crypto_grab_*().

  - Also modify crypto_check_attr_type() to handle computing the 'mask'
    so that most templates can just use this.

  - Make crypto_grab_*() propagate these flags to the template instance
    being created so that templates don't have to do this themselves.

Make crypto/simd.c propagate these flags too, since it "wraps" another
algorithm, similar to a template.

Based on a patch by Mikulas Patocka &lt;mpatocka@redhat.com&gt;
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/alpine.LRH.2.02.2006301414580.30526@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com).

Add crypto_enqueue_request_head function that enqueues a
request in front of queue.
This will be used in crypto-engine, on error path. In case a request
was not executed by hardware, enqueue it back in front of queue (to
keep the order of requests).

<id>urn:sha1:6603523bf5e432c7c8490fb500793bb15d4e5f61</id>
<content type='text'>
There are two problems in crypto_spawn_alg.  First of all it may
return spawn-&gt;alg even if spawn-&gt;dead is set.  This results in a
double-free as detected by syzbot.

Secondly the setting of the DYING flag is racy because we hold
the read-lock instead of the write-lock.  We should instead call
crypto_shoot_alg in a safe manner by gaining a refcount, dropping
the lock, and then releasing the refcount.

This patch fixes both problems.

Currently after any algorithm is registered and tested, there's an
unnecessary request_module("cryptomgr") even if it's already loaded.
Also, CRYPTO_MSG_ALG_LOADED is sent twice, and thus if the algorithm is
"crct10dif", lib/crc-t10dif.c replaces the tfm twice rather than once.

This occurs because CRYPTO_MSG_ALG_LOADED is sent using
crypto_probing_notify(), which tries to load "cryptomgr" if the
notification is not handled (NOTIFY_DONE).  This doesn't make sense
because "cryptomgr" doesn't handle this notification.

Fix this by using crypto_notify() instead of crypto_probing_notify().

Now that all templates provide a -&gt;create() method which creates an
instance, installs a strongly-typed -&gt;free() method directly to it, and
registers it, the older -&gt;alloc() and -&gt;free() methods in
'struct crypto_template' are no longer used.  Remove them.

Now that crypto_init_spawn() is only called by crypto_grab_spawn(),
simplify things by moving its functionality into crypto_grab_spawn().

In the process of doing this, also be more consistent about when the
spawn and instance are updated, and remove the crypto_spawn::dropref
flag since now it's always set.

Remove lots of helper functions that were previously used for
instantiating crypto templates, but are now unused:

- crypto_get_attr_alg() and similar functions looked up an inner
  algorithm directly from a template parameter.  These were replaced
  with getting the algorithm's name, then calling crypto_grab_*().

- crypto_init_spawn2() and similar functions initialized a spawn, given
  an algorithm.  Similarly, these were replaced with crypto_grab_*().

- crypto_alloc_instance() and similar functions allocated an instance
  with a single spawn, given the inner algorithm.  These aren't useful
  anymore since crypto_grab_*() need the instance allocated first.

<title>crypto: algapi - pass instance to crypto_grab_spawn()</title>

Currently, crypto_spawn::inst is first used temporarily to pass the
instance to crypto_grab_spawn().  Then crypto_init_spawn() overwrites it
with crypto_spawn::next, which shares the same union.  Finally,
crypto_spawn::inst is set again when the instance is registered.

Make this less convoluted by just passing the instance as an argument to
crypto_grab_spawn() instead.

<title>crypto: algapi - make crypto_grab_spawn() handle an ERR_PTR() name</title>

<content type='text'>
To allow further simplifying template -&gt;create() functions, make
crypto_grab_spawn() handle an ERR_PTR() name by passing back the error.

For most templates, this will allow the result of crypto_attr_alg_name()
to be passed directly to crypto_grab_*(), rather than first having to
assign it to a variable [where it can then potentially be misused, as it
was in the rfc7539 template prior to commit 5e27f38f1f3f ("crypto:
chacha20poly1305 - set cra_name correctly")] and check it for error.
