From: Eric Biggers Subject: [PATCH] sunrpc: remove incorrect HMAC request initialization Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2018 10:57:22 -0700 Message-ID: <20180328175722.193355-1-ebiggers@google.com> Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org, Herbert Xu , Michael Young , Eric Biggers , stable@vger.kernel.org To: Trond Myklebust , Anna Schumaker , "J . Bruce Fields" , Jeff Layton , linux-nfs@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-crypto.vger.kernel.org make_checksum_hmac_md5() is allocating an HMAC transform and doing crypto API calls in the following order: crypto_ahash_init() crypto_ahash_setkey() crypto_ahash_digest() This is wrong because it makes no sense to init() the request before a key has been set, given that the initial state depends on the key. And digest() is short for init() + update() + final(), so in this case there's no need to explicitly call init() at all. Before commit 9fa68f620041 ("crypto: hash - prevent using keyed hashes without setting key") the extra init() had no real effect, at least for the software HMAC implementation. (There are also hardware drivers that implement HMAC-MD5, and it's not immediately obvious how gracefully they handle init() before setkey().) But now the crypto API detects this incorrect initialization and returns -ENOKEY. This is breaking NFS mounts in some cases. Fix it by removing the incorrect call to crypto_ahash_init().
