e2c9e0b28e ext4: fix an endianness bug in ext4_encrypted_zeroout()
ex->ee_block is not host-endian (note that accesses of other fields
of *ex right next to that line go through the helpers that do proper
conversion from little-endian to host-endian; it might make sense
to add similar for ->ee_block to avoid reintroducing that kind of
bugs...)

36086d43f6 ext4 crypto: fix bugs in ext4_encrypted_zeroout()
Fix multiple bugs in ext4_encrypted_zeroout(), including one that
could cause us to write an encrypted zero page to the wrong location
on disk, potentially causing data and file system corruption.
Fortunately, this tends to only show up in stress tests, but even with
these fixes, we are seeing some test failures with generic/127 --- but
these are now caused by data failures instead of metadata corruption.

Since ext4_encrypted_zeroout() is only used for some optimizations to
keep the extent tree from being too fragmented, and
ext4_encrypted_zeroout() itself isn't all that optimized from a time
or IOPS perspective, disable the extent tree optimization for
encrypted inodes for now.  This prevents the data corruption issues
reported by generic/127 until we can figure out what's going wrong.

3684de8ca2 ext4 crypto: ext4_page_crypto() doesn't need a encryption context
Since ext4_page_crypto() doesn't need an encryption context (at least
not any more), this allows us to simplify a number function signature
and also allows us to avoid needing to allocate a context in
ext4_block_write_begin().  It also means we no longer need a separate
ext4_decrypt_one() function.

3dbb5eb9a3 ext4 crypto: allocate bounce pages using GFP_NOWAIT
Previously we allocated bounce pages using a combination of
alloc_page() and mempool_alloc() with the __GFP_WAIT bit set.
Instead, use mempool_alloc() with GFP_NOWAIT.  The mempool_alloc()
function will try using alloc_pages() initially, and then only use the
mempool reserve of pages if alloc_pages() is unable to fulfill the
request.

This minimizes the the impact on the mm layer when we need to do a
large amount of writeback of encrypted files, as Jaeguk Kim had
reported that under a heavy fio workload on a system with restricted
amounts memory (which unfortunately, includes many mobile handsets),
he had observed the the OOM killer getting triggered several times.
Using GFP_NOWAIT

If the mempool_alloc() function fails, we will retry the page
writeback at a later time; the function of the mempool is to ensure
that we can writeback at least 32 pages at a time, so we can more
efficiently dispatch I/O under high memory pressure situations.  In
the future we should make this be a tunable so we can determine the
best tradeoff between permanently sequestering memory and the ability
to quickly launder pages so we can free up memory quickly when
necessary.

95ea68b4c7 ext4 crypto: fix memory leaks in ext4_encrypted_zeroout
ext4_encrypted_zeroout() could end up leaking a bio and bounce page.
Fortunately it's not used much.  While we're fixing things up,
refactor out common code into the static function alloc_bounce_page()
and fix up error handling if mempool_alloc() fails.

c936e1ec28 ext4 crypto: use per-inode tfm structure
As suggested by Herbert Xu, we shouldn't allocate a new tfm each time
we read or write a page.  Instead we can use a single tfm hanging off
the inode's crypt_info structure for all of our encryption needs for
that inode, since the tfm can be used by multiple crypto requests in
parallel.

Also use cmpxchg() to avoid races that could result in crypt_info
structure getting doubly allocated or doubly freed.

614def7013 ext4 crypto: shrink size of the ext4_crypto_ctx structure
Some fields are only used when the crypto_ctx is being used on the
read path, some are only used on the write path, and some are only
used when the structure is on free list.  Optimize memory use by using
a union.

b7236e21d5 ext4 crypto: reorganize how we store keys in the inode
This is a pretty massive patch which does a number of different things:

1) The per-inode encryption information is now stored in an allocated
   data structure, ext4_crypt_info, instead of directly in the node.
   This reduces the size usage of an in-memory inode when it is not
   using encryption.

2) We drop the ext4_fname_crypto_ctx entirely, and use the per-inode
   encryption structure instead.  This remove an unnecessary memory
   allocation and free for the fname_crypto_ctx as well as allowing us
   to reuse the ctfm in a directory for multiple lookups and file
   creations.

3) We also cache the inode's policy information in the ext4_crypt_info
   structure so we don't have to continually read it out of the
   extended attributes.

4) We now keep the keyring key in the inode's encryption structure
   instead of releasing it after we are done using it to derive the
   per-inode key.  This allows us to test to see if the key has been
   revoked; if it has, we prevent the use of the derived key and free
   it.

5) When an inode is released (or when the derived key is freed), we
   will use memset_explicit() to zero out the derived key, so it's not
   left hanging around in memory.  This implies that when a user logs
   out, it is important to first revoke the key, and then unlink it,
   and then finally, to use "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to
   release any decrypted pages and dcache entries from the system
   caches.

6) All this, and we also shrink the number of lines of code by around
   100.  :-)

e2881b1b51 ext4 crypto: separate kernel and userspace structure for the key
Use struct ext4_encryption_key only for the master key passed via the
kernel keyring.

For internal kernel space users, we now use struct ext4_crypt_info.
This will allow us to put information from the policy structure so we
can cache it and avoid needing to constantly looking up the extended
attribute.  We will do this in a spearate patch.  This patch is mostly
mechnical to make it easier for patch review.

b30ab0e034 ext4 crypto: add ext4 encryption facilities
On encrypt, we will re-assign the buffer_heads to point to a bounce
page rather than the control_page (which is the original page to write
that contains the plaintext). The block I/O occurs against the bounce
page.  On write completion, we re-assign the buffer_heads to the
original plaintext page.

On decrypt, we will attach a read completion callback to the bio
struct. This read completion will decrypt the read contents in-place
prior to setting the page up-to-date.

The current encryption mode, AES-256-XTS, lacks cryptographic
integrity. AES-256-GCM is in-plan, but we will need to devise a
mechanism for handling the integrity data.
