Subject: [PATCH 1/3] dm integrity: do not filter algos with CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY
Date: Wed,  5 Jul 2023 17:40:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230705164009.58351-2-giovanni.cabiddu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230705164009.58351-1-giovanni.cabiddu@intel.com>

The flag CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY indicates that an algorithm might
allocate memory in the datapath and therefore sleep.
Dm-integrity is filtering out implementations of skcipher algorithms
that have this flag set. However, in the same function it does
allocations with GFP_KERNEL.
As dm-integrity is re-entrant and capable of handling sleeps that could
occur during allocations with GFP_KERNEL, then it is also capable of
using skcipher algorithm implementations that have
CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY set.

Remove the filtering of skcipher implementations with the flag
CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY set.
