Subject: [PATCH 00/21] nvme-auth: use crypto library for HMAC and hashing
Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2026 23:59:38 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260302075959.338638-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
This series converts the implementation of NVMe in-band authentication
to use the crypto library instead of crypto_shash for HMAC and hashing.
The result is simpler, faster, and more reliable. Notably, it
eliminates a lot of dynamic memory allocations, indirect calls, lookups
in crypto_alg_list, and other API overhead. It also uses the library's
support for initializing HMAC contexts directly from a raw key, which is
an optimization not accessible via crypto_shash. Finally, a lot of the
error handling code goes away, since the library functions just always
succeed and return void.
The last patch removes crypto/hkdf.c, as it's no longer needed.
This series applies to v7.0-rc1 and is targeting the nvme tree.
I've tested the TLS key derivation using the KUnit test suite added in
this series. I don't know how to test the other parts, but it all
should behave the same as before.
Eric Biggers (21):
nvme-auth: add NVME_AUTH_MAX_DIGEST_SIZE constant
nvme-auth: common: constify static data
nvme-auth: use proper argument types
nvme-auth: common: add KUnit tests for TLS key derivation
nvme-auth: rename nvme_auth_generate_key() to nvme_auth_parse_key()
nvme-auth: common: explicitly verify psk_len == hash_len
nvme-auth: common: add HMAC helper functions
nvme-auth: common: use crypto library in nvme_auth_transform_key()
nvme-auth: common: use crypto library in
nvme_auth_augmented_challenge()
