Subject: [PATCH 23/33] wifi: mac80211: Use AES-CTR library in fils_aead.c
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 22:34:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707053503.209874-24-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707053503.209874-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
Now that there's a library API for AES-CTR, use it instead of a
"ctr(aes)" crypto_skcipher in aes_siv_encrypt() and aes_siv_decrypt().
This significantly simplifies the code.
Further simplify both aes_siv_encrypt() and aes_siv_decrypt() by
memmove()ing the source data to the destination buffer (which is offset
by 16 bytes from the source), then doing AES-CTR in-place. This
eliminates the need for the temporary buffer in aes_siv_encrypt(), or to
rely on an unsupported overlapped operation in aes_siv_decrypt(). The
latter was technically a bug, though presumably it worked accidentally.
Finally, also fix the auth tag verification to use crypto_memneq().
