[PATCH 3/8] crypto: api - only support lookups for specific CRYPTO_ALG_TESTED status

From: Nicolai Stange
Date: Sun Oct 03 2021 - 14:15:17 EST


Commit ff753308d2f7 ("crypto: api - crypto_alg_mod_lookup either tested
or untested") introduced support to crypto_alg_lookup() for
ignoring the CRYPTO_ALG_TESTED status in the search. According to the
patch description, this had been needed at the time for "constructing
givcipher and aead". Callers of crypto_alg_lookup() would enable this
behaviour by the special combination of setting CRYPTO_ALG_TESTED in
type only, but not in mask.

However, the last user invoking this functionality has been gone with
commit 3a01d0ee2b99 ("crypto: skcipher - Remove top-level givcipher
interface"). With the previous two patches making the userspace facing APIs
to validate the mask and type values passed in, the combination of
(type & CRYPTO_ALG_TESTED), but !(mask & CRYPTO_ALG_TESTED) is not
possible in crypto_alg_lookup() anymore.

In preparation for subsequent patches, make this explicit by effectively
applying what is a revert of commit ff753308d2f7 ("crypto: api -
crypto_alg_mod_lookup either tested or untested") and adding a
corresponding WARN_ON_ONCE() to crypto_alg_mod_lookup().

There is no change in behaviour.

Note that it is now guaranteed that the first __crypto_alg_lookup()
invocation from crypto_alg_mod_lookup() will always have CRYPTO_ALG_TESTED
in the mask passed in, which will be needed for a subsequent patch
enforcing the same for lookup larvals.
