Eric Biggers 64d107d3ac KEYS: encrypted: fix race causing incorrect HMAC calculations
The encrypted-keys module was using a single global HMAC transform,
which could be rekeyed by multiple threads concurrently operating on
different keys, causing incorrect HMAC values to be calculated.  Fix
this by allocating a new HMAC transform whenever we need to calculate a
HMAC.  Also simplify things a bit by allocating the shash_desc's using
SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK() for both the HMAC and unkeyed hashes.

The following script reproduces the bug:

    keyctl new_session
    keyctl add user master "abcdefghijklmnop" @s
    for i in $(seq 2); do
        (
            set -e
            for j in $(seq 1000); do
                keyid=$(keyctl add encrypted desc$i "new user:master 25" @s)
                datablob="$(keyctl pipe $keyid)"
                keyctl unlink $keyid > /dev/null
                keyid=$(keyctl add encrypted desc$i "load $datablob" @s)
                keyctl unlink $keyid > /dev/null
            done
        ) &
    done

Output with bug:

    [  439.691094] encrypted_key: bad hmac (-22)
    add_key: Invalid argument
    add_key: Invalid argument

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
