From 02abe6e5d230fef37e757714cac6cefa7dbcb22b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolai Stange Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2022 22:22:31 +0200 Subject: crypto: drbg - move dynamic ->reseed_threshold adjustments to __drbg_seed() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit 262d83a4290c331cd4f617a457408bdb82fbb738 upstream. Since commit d2a5f0e4f727 ("crypto: drbg - reseed often if seedsource is degraded"), the maximum seed lifetime represented by ->reseed_threshold gets temporarily lowered if the get_random_bytes() source cannot provide sufficient entropy yet, as is common during boot, and restored back to the original value again once that has changed. More specifically, if the add_random_ready_callback() invoked from drbg_prepare_hrng() in the course of DRBG instantiation does not return -EALREADY, that is, if get_random_bytes() has not been fully initialized at this point yet, drbg_prepare_hrng() will lower ->reseed_threshold to a value of 50. The drbg_async_seed() scheduled from said random_ready_callback will eventually restore the original value. A future patch will replace the random_ready_callback based notification mechanism and thus, there will be no add_random_ready_callback() return value anymore which could get compared to -EALREADY. However, there's __drbg_seed() which gets invoked in the course of both, the DRBG instantiation as well as the eventual reseeding from get_random_bytes() in aforementioned drbg_async_seed(), if any. Moreover, it knows about the get_random_bytes() initialization state by the time the seed data had been obtained from it: the new_seed_state argument introduced with the previous patch would get set to DRBG_SEED_STATE_PARTIAL in case get_random_bytes() had not been fully initialized yet and to DRBG_SEED_STATE_FULL otherwise. Thus, __drbg_seed() provides a convenient alternative for managing that ->reseed_threshold lowering and restoring at a central place. Move all ->reseed_threshold adjustment code from drbg_prepare_hrng() and drbg_async_seed() respectively to __drbg_seed(). Make __drbg_seed() lower the ->reseed_threshold to 50 in case its new_seed_state argument equals DRBG_SEED_STATE_PARTIAL and let it restore the original value otherwise. There is no change in behaviour. Signed-off-by: Nicolai Stange Reviewed-by: Stephan Müller Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: Jason A.
