Eric Biggers 6b972d6047 BACKPORT: fscrypt: support crypto data unit size less than filesystem block size
Until now, fscrypt has always used the filesystem block size as the
granularity of file contents encryption.  Two scenarios have come up
where a sub-block granularity of contents encryption would be useful:

1. Inline crypto hardware that only supports a crypto data unit size
   that is less than the filesystem block size.

2. Support for direct I/O at a granularity less than the filesystem
   block size, for example at the block device's logical block size in
   order to match the traditional direct I/O alignment requirement.

(1) first came up with older eMMC inline crypto hardware that only
supports a crypto data unit size of 512 bytes.  That specific case
ultimately went away because all systems with that hardware continued
using out of tree code and never actually upgraded to the upstream
inline crypto framework.  But, now it's coming back in a new way: some
current UFS controllers only support a data unit size of 4096 bytes, and
there is a proposal to increase the filesystem block size to 16K.

(2) was discussed as a "nice to have" feature, though not essential,
when support for direct I/O on encrypted files was being upstreamed.

Still, the fact that this feature has come up several times does suggest
it would be wise to have available.  Therefore, this patch implements it
by using one of the reserved bytes in fscrypt_policy_v2 to allow users
to select a sub-block data unit size.  Supported data unit sizes are
powers of 2 between 512 and the filesystem block size, inclusively.
Support is implemented for both the FS-layer and inline crypto cases.

This patch focuses on the basic support for sub-block data units.  Some
things are out of scope for this patch but may be addressed later:

- Supporting sub-block data units in combination with
  FSCRYPT_POLICY_FLAG_IV_INO_LBLK_64, in most cases.  Unfortunately this
  combination usually causes data unit indices to exceed 32 bits, and
  thus fscrypt_supported_policy() correctly disallows it.  The users who
  potentially need this combination are using f2fs.  To support it, f2fs
  would need to provide an option to slightly reduce its max file size.

- Supporting sub-block data units in combination with
  FSCRYPT_POLICY_FLAG_IV_INO_LBLK_32.  This has the same problem
  described above, but also it will need special code to make DUN
  wraparound still happen on a FS block boundary.

- Supporting use case (2) mentioned above.  The encrypted direct I/O
  code will need to stop requiring and assuming FS block alignment.
  This won't be hard, but it belongs in a separate patch.

- Supporting this feature on filesystems other than ext4 and f2fs.
  (Filesystems declare support for it via their fscrypt_operations.)
  On UBIFS, sub-block data units don't make sense because UBIFS encrypts
  variable-length blocks as a result of compression.  CephFS could
  support it, but a bit more work would be needed to make the
  fscrypt_*_block_inplace functions play nicely with sub-block data
  units.  I don't think there's a use case for this on CephFS anyway.

 depend on other commits that changed struct fscrypt_operations.  Also
 resolved conflicts with the HW-wrapped key support.)

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

    • Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux, additions of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export.
    • When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass scripts/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
