[PATCH 06/18] SUNRPC: Switch wrap token encryption to crypto/krb5

From: Chuck Lever

Date: Mon Apr 27 2026 - 09:58:59 EST


From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>

Replace the per-enctype .encrypt callbacks (gss_krb5_aes_encrypt and
krb5_etm_encrypt) with a single gss_krb5_aead_encrypt() wrapper that
delegates to crypto_krb5_encrypt().

The xdr_buf setup -- GSS header insertion, confounder space
allocation, and token header copy -- remains unchanged. The
difference is that the CBC-CTS encryption and HMAC computation are
now a single AEAD operation through the crypto/krb5 library. Both
the MtE construction (RFC 3962) and the EtM construction (RFC 8009)
are handled transparently by the AEAD transform.

The plaintext page data must be copied from the page cache pages to
the scratch output pages before building the scatterlist, since the
AEAD operates in-place rather than using separate input and output
scatterlists.
