[RFC 0/2] Cipher infrastructure
by Tomasz Bursztyka
Hi,
Went quickly through the cipher proposal, to get a somehow working implementation.
Seems to work with aes, but not with arc4.
And now I wonder if we should not provide an initialization vector for some ciphers? (like arc4).
I thought I could set one IV per socket once, but it does not seems so. (thus there is
nothing related to IV in this RFC).
So, should I set iv elements in struct l_cipher, so I could set one one encrypting/decrypting?
It's just a bit annoying with cmsg handling, but I got nice example with libkapi (though this
one mandate the user to provide the iv. I tought we could handle randomly generated ones?)
libkapi is kind of nice as it uses vmsplice and so on. It's just a lot of code, I don't
think we want something that complex.

[PATCH] cipher: RFC on an API for a cipher utility infrastructure
by Tomasz Bursztyka
---
Hi guys,
Here is a quick proposal on the cipher infra for ell. I followed what has
been done with checksums in ell, with obvious differences due to the ciphers
themselves. (2 different actions: encrypt/decrypt and the presence of a key)
I have open issues here:
l_cipher_reset() on its own might not be useful, should I add the possibilty
to change the key as well? Unless there is no cipher state to reset, and then
it's better not having such function. (I am not aware of the kernel cipher
internals, related to some state there so if one can enlight the issue here)
Alos, about encrypt/decrypt. Currently I am proposing to have those as they
will send the data, and we get it back via get_data() (function name it not
that great btw).
So:
- is having only encrypt/decrypt an option? (so send/recv would be done in
each functions). Though 2 blocking functions at a time... not great.
- or, what about enabling async access? Unless I miss something about the
crypto layer in the kernel, here the socket is blocking. So we could be
stalled at some point. checksum does the same, is there any plan to make it
async actually? like a function l_cipher_enable_async(), which would call the
right fcntl() and return the socket which we could use in the event loop.

[PATCH 0/2] Introduce l_memdup function
by Jukka Rissanen
Hi,
this patch introduces new l_memdup() function in patch 1.
The new function is then used in patch 2. The genl.c was the only
place in the code base where such a change could be done (at least I
could not spot any other place having malloc+memcpy in the code after
quick review).
Cheers,
Jukka

[PATCH] hashmap: Entry pointers were not freed when map was destroyed
by Jukka Rissanen
The l_hashmap_destroy() did not free the left over entry pointers
that were allocated in l_hashmap_insert(). If user did not remove
them by calling the l_hashmap_remove(), then the entries were left
in the hash which caused a memory leak.
