[patch 009/104] eCryptfs: Allocate up to two scatterlists forcrypto ops on keys

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Dec 03 2008 - 14:53:47 EST


2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Michael Halcrow <mhalcrow@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ac97b9f9a2d0b83488e0bbcb8517b229d5c9b142 upstream.

I have received some reports of out-of-memory errors on some older AMD
architectures. These errors are what I would expect to see if
crypt_stat->key were split between two separate pages. eCryptfs should
not assume that any of the memory sent through virt_to_scatterlist() is
all contained in a single page, and so this patch allocates two
scatterlist structs instead of one when processing keys. I have received
confirmation from one person affected by this bug that this patch resolves
the issue for him, and so I am submitting it for inclusion in a future
stable release.

Note that virt_to_scatterlist() runs sg_init_table() on the scatterlist
structs passed to it, so the calls to sg_init_table() in
decrypt_passphrase_encrypted_session_key() are redundant.
