Herbert:
Did anyone report problem on the area of authen(hmac(sha1), cbc(aes)) fallback, since linux 3-10?
I am working on android linux 3-10.
Our hardware does not support aes 192.
I am following the example from picoxcell_crypto.c. In the cra_init, driver does the following to allocate
a fallback crypto_aead.
tx->sw_cipher = crypto_alloc_aead
(alg->cra_name, 0,
CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC |
CRYPTO_ALG_NEED_FALLBACK);
I define two xfrm.
They are as such:
#ip xfrm state show
src 10.2.243.105 dst 10.2.243.29
proto esp spi 0x00000701 reqid 0 mode transport
replay-window 0
auth-trunc hmac(sha256) 0x8d967d88f6caa9d714800ab3d48051d63f73a3120102030405060708090a0b 96
enc cbc(aes) 0x7d8adc5f52e6b2291f27a4c0384624a7
sel src 0.0.0.0/0 dst 0.0.0.0/0
src 10.2.243.29 dst 10.2.243.105
proto esp spi 0x00000601 reqid 0 mode transport
replay-window 0
auth-trunc hmac(sha256) 0x8d967d88f6caa9d714800ab3d48051d63f73a3120102030405060708090a0b 96
enc cbc(aes) 0x7d8adc5f52e6b2291f27a4c0384624a7
sel src 0.0.0.0/0 dst 0.0.0.0/0
It seems the 2nd xfrm->__crt_alg is pointing to software implementation algorithm, instead of our driver.
xfrm state is aes128 ciphering and the sw implementation is not supposedly to happen. As the result of 2nd xfrm pointing to software implementation, one direction of traffic (for the 2nd xfrm) is "aead"ed by software implementation.
Does it make sense?
I put trace in crypto modules. After
ip xfrm state add command for both xfrm, the trace displays as included at end of this mail.
