A GFP_ATOMIC allocation can fail, but init_crypt() in xts.c handles the allocation failure gracefully - it will fall back to preallocated buffer if the allocation fails. The crypto API maintainer says that the crypto API only needs to allocate memory when dealing with unaligned buffers and therefore turning CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP off is safe (see this discussion: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2018-August/msg00195.html ) Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/md/dm-crypt.c | 10 +++++----- drivers/md/dm-integrity.c | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) Index: linux-stable/drivers/md/dm-crypt.c =================================================================== --- linux-stable.orig/drivers/md/dm-crypt.c 2019-04-16 10:49:33.000000000 +0200 +++ linux-stable/drivers/md/dm-crypt.c 2019-04-16 10:51:15.000000000 +0200 @@ -334,7 +334,7 @@ static int crypt_iv_essiv_init(struct cr sg_init_one(&sg, cc->key, cc->key_size); ahash_request_set_tfm(req, essiv->hash_tfm); - ahash_request_set_callback(req, CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP, NULL, NULL); + ahash_request_set_callback(req, 0, NULL, NULL); ahash_request_set_crypt(req, &sg, essiv->salt, cc->key_size); err = crypto_ahash_digest(req); @@ -609,7 +609,7 @@ static int crypt_iv_lmk_one(struct crypt int i, r; desc->tfm = lmk->hash_tfm; - desc->flags = CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP; + desc->flags = 0; r = crypto_shash_init(desc); if (r) @@ -771,7 +771,7 @@ static int crypt_iv_tcw_whitening(struct /* calculate crc32 for every 32bit part and xor it */ desc->tfm = tcw->crc32_tfm; - desc->flags = CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP; + desc->flags = 0; for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) { r = crypto_shash_init(desc); if (r) @@ -1254,7 +1254,7 @@ static void crypt_alloc_req_skcipher(str * requests if driver request queue is full. */ skcipher_request_set_callback(ctx->r.req, - CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG | CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP, + CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG, kcryptd_async_done, dmreq_of_req(cc, ctx->r.req)); } @@ -1271,7 +1271,7 @@ static void crypt_alloc_req_aead(struct * requests if driver request queue is full. */ aead_request_set_callback(ctx->r.req_aead, - CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG | CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP, + CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG, kcryptd_async_done, dmreq_of_req(cc, ctx->r.req_aead)); } Index: linux-stable/drivers/md/dm-integrity.c =================================================================== --- linux-stable.orig/drivers/md/dm-integrity.c 2019-04-16 10:49:33.000000000 +0200 +++ linux-stable/drivers/md/dm-integrity.c 2019-04-16 10:49:33.000000000 +0200 @@ -493,7 +493,7 @@ static void section_mac(struct dm_integr unsigned j, size; desc->tfm = ic->journal_mac; - desc->flags = CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP; + desc->flags = 0; r = crypto_shash_init(desc); if (unlikely(r)) { @@ -637,7 +637,7 @@ static void complete_journal_encrypt(str static bool do_crypt(bool encrypt, struct skcipher_request *req, struct journal_completion *comp) { int r; - skcipher_request_set_callback(req, CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG | CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP, + skcipher_request_set_callback(req, CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG, complete_journal_encrypt, comp); if (likely(encrypt)) r = crypto_skcipher_encrypt(req);
