    libceph: introduce ceph_crypt() for in-place en/decryption · a45f795c
    Ilya Dryomov authored
    Starting with 4.9, kernel stacks may be vmalloced and therefore not
    guaranteed to be physically contiguous; the new CONFIG_VMAP_STACK
    option is enabled by default on x86.  This makes it invalid to use
    on-stack buffers with the crypto scatterlist API, as sg_set_buf()
    expects a logical address and won't work with vmalloced addresses.
    
    There isn't a different (e.g. kvec-based) crypto API we could switch
    net/ceph/crypto.c to and the current scatterlist.h API isn't getting
    updated to accommodate this use case.  Allocating a new header and
    padding for each operation is a non-starter, so do the en/decryption
    in-place on a single pre-assembled (header + data + padding) heap
    buffer.  This is explicitly supported by the crypto API:
    
        "... the caller may provide the same scatter/gather list for the
         plaintext and cipher text. After the completion of the cipher
         operation, the plaintext data is replaced with the ciphertext data
         in case of an encryption and vice versa for a decryption."
