32a92f8c89 Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

66e5a11d2e blk-crypto: optimize data unit alignment checking
Avoid the relatively high overhead of constructing and walking per-page
segment bio_vecs for data unit alignment checking by merging the checks
into existing loops.

For hardware support crypto, perform the check in bio_split_io_at, which
already contains a similar alignment check applied for all I/O.  This
means bio-based drivers that do not call bio_split_to_limits, should they
ever grow blk-crypto support, need to implement the check themselves,
just like all other queue limits checks.

For blk-crypto-fallback do it in the encryption/decryption loops.  This
means alignment errors for decryption will only be detected after I/O
has completed, but that seems like a worthwhile trade off.

3d939695e6 blk-crypto: use mempool_alloc_bulk for encrypted bio page allocation
Calling mempool_alloc in a loop is not safe unless the maximum allocation
size times the maximum number of threads using it is less than the
minimum pool size.  Use the new mempool_alloc_bulk helper to allocate
all missing elements in one pass to remove this deadlock risk.  This
also means that non-pool allocations now use alloc_pages_bulk which can
be significantly faster than a loop over individual page allocations.

2f655dcb2d blk-crypto: use on-stack skcipher requests for fallback en/decryption
Allocating a skcipher request dynamically can deadlock or cause
unexpected I/O failures when called from writeback context.  Avoid the
allocation entirely by using on-stack skciphers, similar to what the
non-blk-crypto fscrypt path already does.

This drops the incomplete support for asynchronous algorithms, which
previously could be used, but only synchronously.

b37fbce460 blk-crypto: optimize bio splitting in blk_crypto_fallback_encrypt_bio
The current code in blk_crypto_fallback_encrypt_bio is inefficient and
prone to deadlocks under memory pressure: It first walks the passed in
plaintext bio to see how much of it can fit into a single encrypted
bio using up to BIO_MAX_VEC PAGE_SIZE segments, and then allocates a
plaintext clone that fits the size, only to allocate another bio for
the ciphertext later.  While the plaintext clone uses a bioset to avoid
deadlocks when allocations could fail, the ciphertex one uses bio_kmalloc
which is a no-go in the file system I/O path.

Switch blk_crypto_fallback_encrypt_bio to walk the source plaintext bio
while consuming bi_iter without cloning it, and instead allocate a
ciphertext bio at the beginning and whenever we fille up the previous
one.  The existing bio_set for the plaintext clones is reused for the
ciphertext bios to remove the deadlock risk.

aefc2a1fa2 blk-crypto: submit the encrypted bio in blk_crypto_fallback_bio_prep
Restructure blk_crypto_fallback_bio_prep so that it always submits the
encrypted bio instead of passing it back to the caller, which allows
to simplify the calling conventions for blk_crypto_fallback_bio_prep and
blk_crypto_bio_prep so that they never have to return a bio, and can
use a true return value to indicate that the caller should submit the
bio, and false that the blk-crypto code consumed it.

The submission is handled by the on-stack bio list in the current
task_struct by the block layer and does not cause additional stack
usage or major overhead.  It also prepares for the following optimization
and fixes for the blk-crypto fallback write path.

ebc4176551 blk-crypto: add basic hardware-wrapped key support
To prevent keys from being compromised if an attacker acquires read
access to kernel memory, some inline encryption hardware can accept keys
which are wrapped by a per-boot hardware-internal key.  This avoids
needing to keep the raw keys in kernel memory, without limiting the
number of keys that can be used.  Such hardware also supports deriving a
"software secret" for cryptographic tasks that can't be handled by
inline encryption; this is needed for fscrypt to work properly.

To support this hardware, allow struct blk_crypto_key to represent a
hardware-wrapped key as an alternative to a raw key, and make drivers
set flags in struct blk_crypto_profile to indicate which types of keys
they support.  Also add the ->derive_sw_secret() low-level operation,
which drivers supporting wrapped keys must implement.

For more information, see the detailed documentation which this patch
adds to Documentation/block/inline-encryption.rst.

e546fe1da9 block: Rework bio_split() return value
Instead of returning an inconclusive value of NULL for an error in calling
bio_split(), return a ERR_PTR() always.

Also remove the BUG_ON() calls, and WARN_ON_ONCE() instead. Indeed, since
almost all callers don't check the return code from bio_split(), we'll
crash anyway (for those failures).

Fix up the only user which checks bio_split() return code today (directly
or indirectly), blk_crypto_fallback_split_bio_if_needed(). The md/bcache
code does check the return code in cached_dev_cache_miss() ->
bio_next_split() -> bio_split(), but only to see if there was a split, so
there would be no change in behaviour here (when returning a ERR_PTR()).

cb77cb5abe blk-crypto: rename blk_keyslot_manager to blk_crypto_profile
blk_keyslot_manager is misnamed because it doesn't necessarily manage
keyslots.  It actually does several different things:

  - Contains the crypto capabilities of the device.

  - Provides functions to control the inline encryption hardware.
    Originally these were just for programming/evicting keyslots;
    however, new functionality (hardware-wrapped keys) will require new
    functions here which are unrelated to keyslots.  Moreover,
    device-mapper devices already (ab)use "keyslot_evict" to pass key
    eviction requests to their underlying devices even though
    device-mapper devices don't have any keyslots themselves (so it
    really should be "evict_key", not "keyslot_evict").

  - Sometimes (but not always!) it manages keyslots.  Originally it
    always did, but device-mapper devices don't have keyslots
    themselves, so they use a "passthrough keyslot manager" which
    doesn't actually manage keyslots.  This hack works, but the
    terminology is unnatural.  Also, some hardware doesn't have keyslots
    and thus also uses a "passthrough keyslot manager" (support for such
    hardware is yet to be upstreamed, but it will happen eventually).

Let's stop having keyslot managers which don't actually manage keyslots.
Instead, rename blk_keyslot_manager to blk_crypto_profile.

This is a fairly big change, since for consistency it also has to update
keyslot manager-related function names, variable names, and comments --
not just the actual struct name.  However it's still a fairly
straightforward change, as it doesn't change any actual functionality.

e7ecc142e9 block: blk-crypto-fallback: remove redundant initialization of variable err
The variable err is being initialized with a value that is never read
and it is being updated later with a new value.  The initialization is
redundant and can be removed.

488f6682c8 block: blk-crypto-fallback for Inline Encryption
Blk-crypto delegates crypto operations to inline encryption hardware
when available. The separately configurable blk-crypto-fallback contains
a software fallback to the kernel crypto API - when enabled, blk-crypto
will use this fallback for en/decryption when inline encryption hardware
is not available.

This lets upper layers not have to worry about whether or not the
underlying device has support for inline encryption before deciding to
specify an encryption context for a bio. It also allows for testing
without actual inline encryption hardware - in particular, it makes it
possible to test the inline encryption code in ext4 and f2fs simply by
running xfstests with the inlinecrypt mount option, which in turn allows
for things like the regular upstream regression testing of ext4 to cover
the inline encryption code paths.

For more details, refer to Documentation/block/inline-encryption.rst.
