Hi Herbert,
The AIO support for algif_aead is broken when submitting more than one iocb.
The break happens in aead_recvmsg_async at the following code:
/* ensure output buffer is sufficiently large */
if (usedpages < outlen)
goto free;
The reason is that when submitting, say, two iocb, ctx->used contains the
buffer length for two AEAD operations (as expected). However, the recvmsg code
is invoked for each iocb individually and thus usedpages should only be
expected to point to memory for one AEAD operation. But this violates the
check above.
For example, I have two independent AEAD operations that I want to trigger.
The input to each is 48 bytes (including space for AAD and tag). The output
buffer that I have for each AEAD operation is also 48 bytes and thus
sufficient for the AEAD operation. Yet, when submitting the two AEAD
operations in one io_submit (i.e. using two iocb), ctx->used indicates that
the kernel has 96 bytes to process. This is correct, but only half of it
should be processed in one recvmsg_async invocation.
Note, the AIO operation works perfectly well, when io_submit only sends one
iocb.
Do you have any idea on how to fix that?
Ciao
Stephan
