Mikulas Patocka 0b5fdbbe55 crypto: aesni - don't use GFP_ATOMIC allocation if the request doesn't cross a page in gcm
commit a788848116 upstream.

This patch fixes gcmaes_crypt_by_sg so that it won't use memory
allocation if the data doesn't cross a page boundary.

Authenticated encryption may be used by dm-crypt. If the encryption or
decryption fails, it would result in I/O error and filesystem corruption.
The function gcmaes_crypt_by_sg is using GFP_ATOMIC allocation that can
fail anytime. This patch fixes the logic so that it won't attempt the
failing allocation if the data doesn't cross a page boundary.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
