    crypto: engine - fix crypto_queue backlog handling · 4140aafc
    Olivier Bacon authored
    CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG tells the crypto driver that it should
    internally backlog requests until the crypto hw's queue becomes
    full. At that point, crypto_engine backlogs the request and returns
    -EBUSY. Calling driver such as dm-crypt then waits until the
    complete() function is called with a status of -EINPROGRESS before
    sending a new request.
    
    The problem lies in the call to complete() with a value of -EINPROGRESS
    that is made when a backlog item is present on the queue. The call is
    done before the successful execution of the crypto request. In the case
    that do_one_request() returns < 0 and the retry support is available,
    the request is put back in the queue. This leads upper drivers to send
    a new request even if the queue is still full.
    
    The problem can be reproduced by doing a large dd into a crypto
    dm-crypt device. This is pretty easy to see when using
    Freescale CAAM crypto driver and SWIOTLB dma. Since the actual amount
    of requests that can be hold in the queue is unlimited we get IOs error
    and dma allocation.
    
    The fix is to call complete with a value of -EINPROGRESS only if
    the request is not enqueued back in crypto_queue. This is done
    by calling complete() later in the code. In order to delay the decision,
    crypto_queue is modified to correctly set the backlog pointer
    when a request is enqueued back.
    
    Fixes: 6a89f492 ("crypto: engine - support for parallel requests based on retry mechanism")
