Subject: [PATCH] xfrm: fix hmac(sha256) truncation length
Date: Wed,  7 Mar 2012 15:12:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1331151157-19149-1-git-send-email-jarod@redhat.com> (raw)

Commit bc74b0c8af17458ecae77f725e507ab5fd100105 added proper hmac sha384
and sha512 variants with truncation lengths of 192 and 256 respectively,
per RFC4868:

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4868.txt

The already-present hmac sha256 variant was left as-is, with a truncation
length of 96 bits, per an earlier draft of the RFC, as I understand it (it
predates 2.6.12-rc2, didn't look further back). This doesn't play well out
of the box with various other ipsec devices that properly implement the
current RFC value of 128-bit truncation for hmac sha256. Easy fix,
assuming there's not some reason I'm not clued into about why this might
have intentionally been left as-is.
