Subject: [PATCH 4.9,4.4] crypto: x86/chacha20 - avoid sleeping with preemption disabled
Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2019 15:15:59 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190107231559.13357-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
Hi Greg, please consider applying this to 4.9-stable and 4.4-stable.
It's a minimal fix for a bug that was fixed incidentally by a large
refactoring in v4.11.
>8------------------------------------------------------8<
In chacha20-simd, clear the MAY_SLEEP flag in the blkcipher_desc to
prevent sleeping with preemption disabled, under kernel_fpu_begin().
This was fixed upstream incidentally by a large refactoring,
commit 9ae433bc79f9 ("crypto: chacha20 - convert generic and x86
versions to skcipher"). But syzkaller easily trips over this when
running on older kernels, as it's easily reachable via AF_ALG.
Therefore, this patch makes the minimal fix for older kernels.
Fixes: c9320b6dcb89 ("crypto: chacha20 - Add a SSSE3 SIMD variant for x86_64")
