Subject: [PATCH 4/5] crypto: ti - Trim scatterlists to correct length in AES
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 16:27:10 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827105711.527182-5-t-pratham@ti.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827105711.527182-1-t-pratham@ti.com>

AES functions were using src and dst scatterlists directly provided by
the request. This is problematic as it is not guaranteed that the input
scatterlist is exactly the length reqired. This problem was seen in
IPSec use case when the kernel provides the scatterlist which contains
space for plaintext/ciphertext and TAG.

The problem comes when the scatterlist is mapped and sent via DMA. The
K3 UDMA sends/waits for the amount of data equal to the length of
scatterlist mapped. So when the last mapped nent contains some extra
length, the DMA keeps waiting for the extra data and eventually times
out and crashes.

Mitigate this by copying the nents to a local scatterlist, copying only
exactly cryptlen of data. Note that this does not copy the whole data,
but rather only the scatterlist mapping. So it is not as penalising on
performance.

Fixes: 52f641bc63a4 ("crypto: ti - Add driver for DTHE V2 AES Engine (ECB, CBC)")
