Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] s390/crypto: Fix return code handling at skcipher_walk_done in PAES algorithms
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 17:54:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805155458.14925-2-freude@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805155458.14925-1-freude@linux.ibm.com>
All the 4 PAES cipher processing loops were not checking the return
value of skcipher_walk_done() immediately after calling it. This could
lead to error masking when both the walk operation failed and a
subsequent key conversion was needed (k < n condition).
Add immediate error checks after skcipher_walk_done() in all main
processing loops (ECB, CBC, CTR, XTS modes) to ensure walk errors are
properly propagated and not masked by subsequent operations.
With that comes a slight rework around the skcipher_walk_done()
invocation. It is now necessary to check if the walk has already been
finalized (walk->nbytes is then 0) or not to avoid double
de-allocation of resources held by the walk.
Fixes: 6cd87cb5ef6c ("s390/crypto: Rework protected key AES for true asynch support")
