<content type='text'>
Add support for the Adiantum encryption mode to fscrypt.  Adiantum is a
tweakable, length-preserving encryption mode with security provably
reducible to that of XChaCha12 and AES-256, subject to a security bound.
It's also a true wide-block mode, unlike XTS.  See the paper
"Adiantum: length-preserving encryption for entry-level processors"
(https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/720.pdf) for more details.  Also see
commit 059c2a4d8e16 ("crypto: adiantum - add Adiantum support").

On sufficiently long messages, Adiantum's bottlenecks are XChaCha12 and
the NH hash function.  These algorithms are fast even on processors
without dedicated crypto instructions.  Adiantum makes it feasible to
enable storage encryption on low-end mobile devices that lack AES
instructions; currently such devices are unencrypted.  On ARM Cortex-A7,
on 4096-byte messages Adiantum encryption is about 4 times faster than
AES-256-XTS encryption; decryption is about 5 times faster.

In fscrypt, Adiantum is suitable for encrypting both file contents and
names.  With filenames, it fixes a known weakness: when two filenames in
a directory share a common prefix of &gt;= 16 bytes, with CTS-CBC their
encrypted filenames share a common prefix too, leaking information.
Adiantum does not have this problem.

Since Adiantum also accepts long tweaks (IVs), it's also safe to use the
master key directly for Adiantum encryption rather than deriving
per-file keys, provided that the per-file nonce is included in the IVs
and the master key isn't used for any other encryption mode.  This
configuration saves memory and improves performance.  A new fscrypt
policy flag is added to allow users to opt-in to this configuration.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, we've mainly focused on discard, aka unmap, control
  along with fstrim for Android-specific usage model. In addition, we've
  fixed writepage flow which returned EAGAIN previously resulting in EIO
  of fsync(2) due to mapping's error state. In order to avoid old MM bug
  [1], we decided not to use __GFP_ZERO for the mapping for node and
  meta page caches. As always, we've cleaned up many places for future
  fsverity and symbol conflicts.

  Enhancements:
   - do discard/fstrim in lower priority considering fs utilization
   - split large discard commands into smaller ones for better responsiveness
   - add more sanity checks to address syzbot reports
   - add a mount option, fsync_mode=nobarrier, which can reduce # of cache flushes
   - clean up symbol namespace with modified function names
   - be strict on block allocation and IO control in corner cases

  Bug fixes:
   - don't use __GFP_ZERO for mappings
   - fix error reports in writepage to avoid fsync() failure
   - avoid selinux denial on CAP_RESOURCE on resgid/resuid
   - fix some subtle race conditions in GC/atomic writes/shutdown
   - fix overflow bugs in sanity_check_raw_super
   - fix missing bits on get_flags

  Clean-ups:
   - prepare the generic flow for future fsverity integration
   - fix some broken coding standard"

Use a common function for fscrypt warning and error messages so that all
the messages are consistently ratelimited, include the "fscrypt:"
prefix, and include the filesystem name if applicable.

Also fix up a few of the log messages to be more descriptive.

skcipher_request_alloc() can only fail due to lack of memory, and in
that case the memory allocator will have already printed a detailed
error message.  Thus, remove the redundant error messages from fscrypt.

Now that all filesystems have been converted to use
fscrypt_prepare_lookup(), we can remove the fscrypt_set_d_op() and
fscrypt_set_encrypted_dentry() functions as well as un-export
fscrypt_d_ops.

<title>fscrypt: use unbound workqueue for decryption</title>

<id>urn:sha1:36dd26e0c8d42699eeba87431246c07c28075bae</id>
<content type='text'>
Improve fscrypt read performance by switching the decryption workqueue
from bound to unbound.  With the bound workqueue, when multiple bios
completed on the same CPU, they were decrypted on that same CPU.  But
with the unbound queue, they are now decrypted in parallel on any CPU.

Although fscrypt read performance can be tough to measure due to the
many sources of variation, this change is most beneficial when
decryption is slow, e.g. on CPUs without AES instructions.  For example,
I timed tarring up encrypted directories on f2fs.  On x86 with AES-NI
instructions disabled, the unbound workqueue improved performance by
about 25-35%, using 1 to NUM_CPUs jobs with 4 or 8 CPUs available.  But
with AES-NI enabled, performance was unchanged to within ~2%.

I also did the same test on a quad-core ARM CPU using xts-speck128-neon
encryption.  There performance was usually about 10% better with the
unbound workqueue, bringing it closer to the unencrypted speed.

The unbound workqueue may be worse in some cases due to worse locality,
but I think it's still the better default.  dm-crypt uses an unbound
workqueue by default too, so this change makes fscrypt match.

<title>fscrypt: allow synchronous bio decryption</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0cb8dae4a0df2a977847c2dc6766a7783ce50f9d</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, fscrypt provides fscrypt_decrypt_bio_pages() which decrypts a
bio's pages asynchronously, then unlocks them afterwards.  But, this
assumes that decryption is the last "postprocessing step" for the bio,
so it's incompatible with additional postprocessing steps such as
authenticity verification after decryption.

Therefore, rename the existing fscrypt_decrypt_bio_pages() to
fscrypt_enqueue_decrypt_bio().  Then, add fscrypt_decrypt_bio() which
decrypts the pages in the bio synchronously without unlocking the pages,
nor setting them Uptodate; and add fscrypt_enqueue_decrypt_work(), which
enqueues work on the fscrypt_read_workqueue.  The new functions will be
used by filesystems that support both fscrypt and fs-verity.

fscrypt.h included way too many other headers, given that it is included
by filesystems both with and without encryption support.  Trim down the
includes list by moving the needed includes into more appropriate
places, and removing the unneeded ones.
