[PATCH net-next v7 27/28] security/keys: rewrite big_key crypto to use Zinc

From: Jason A. Donenfeld
Date: Fri Oct 05 2018 - 22:59:06 EST


A while back, I noticed that the crypto and crypto API usage in big_keys
were entirely broken in multiple ways, so I rewrote it. Now, I'm
rewriting it again, but this time using Zinc's ChaCha20Poly1305
function. This makes the file considerably more simple; the diffstat
alone should justify this commit. It also should be faster, since it no
longer requires a mutex around the "aead api object" (nor allocations),
allowing us to encrypt multiple items in parallel. We also benefit from
being able to pass any type of pointer to Zinc, so we can get rid of the
ridiculously complex custom page allocator that big_key really doesn't
need.
