RFC PATCH 2/5 tls: Move cipher info to a separate struct

In reply to a message not in the archive

Separate tx crypto parameters to a separate cipher_context struct. The same parameters will be used for rx using the same struct.

tls_advance_record_sn is modified to only take the cipher info.

RFC PATCH 1/5 tls: Generalize zerocopy_from_iter

Refactor zerocopy_from_iter to take arguments for pages and size, such that it can be used for both tx and rx. RX will also support zerocopy direct to output iter, as long as the full message can be copied at once (a large enough userspace buffer was provided).

RFC PATCH 4/5 tls: RX path for ktls

In reply to a message not in the archive

Add rx path for tls software implementation.

recvmsg, splice_read, and poll implemented.

An additional sockopt TLS_RX is added, with the same interface as TLS_TX. Either TLX_RX or TLX_TX may be provided separately, or together (with two different setsockopt calls with appropriate keys).

Control messages are passed via CMSG in a similar way to transmit. If no cmsg buffer is passed, then only application data records will be passed to userspace, and EIO is returned for other types of alerts.

EBADMSG is passed for decryption errors, and E2BIG is passed for framing errors. Both are unrecoverable.

strparser is used to parse TLS framing. Decryption is done directly
in to userspace buffers if they are large enough to support it, otherwise sk_cow_data is called (similar to ipsec), and buffers are decrypted in place and copied. splice_read always decrypts in place, since no buffers are provided to decrypt in to.

sk_poll is overridden, and only returns POLLIN if a full TLS message is received. Otherwise we wait for strparser to finish reading a full frame. Actual decryption is only done during recvmsg or splice_read calls.

Re: [PATCH RFC 4/5] tls: RX path for ktls

Hi Dave,

Quoted 8 lines · Dave Watson

Add rx path for tls software implementation.

recvmsg, splice_read, and poll implemented.

An additional sockopt TLS_RX is added, with the same interface as TLS_TX. Either TLX_RX or TLX_TX may be provided separately, or together (with two different setsockopt calls with appropriate keys).

Quoted 7 lines

Control messages are passed via CMSG in a similar way to transmit. If no cmsg buffer is passed, then only application data records will be passed to userspace, and EIO is returned for other types of alerts.

EBADMSG is passed for decryption errors, and E2BIG is passed for framing errors. Both are unrecoverable.

I think E2BIG is for too long argument list. EMSGSIZE might be more appropriate. Also, we must check that the record is not too short (cipher specific). For TLS1.2 with AES-GCM the minimum length is 8 (IV) + 16 (TAG). The correct error for this case is EBADMSG, like a decryption failure.

Also, how about bad TLS version (e.g. not TLS1.2)?
A separate error type is required for bad version, because it triggers a unique alert in libraries such as OpenSSL. I thought of using EINVAL for bad version. What do you think?

I wonder if we should provide a more flexible method of obtaining errors for the future. Maybe use a special CMSG for errors?
This CMSG will be triggered only after the socket enters the error state.

Re: [PATCH RFC 4/5] tls: RX path for ktls

Quoted 16 lines · Boris Pismenny

Hi Dave,

Quoted 13 lines · Dave Watson

Add rx path for tls software implementation.

recvmsg, splice_read, and poll implemented.

An additional sockopt TLS_RX is added, with the same interface as TLS_TX. Either TLX_RX or TLX_TX may be provided separately, or together (with two different setsockopt calls with appropriate keys).

Control messages are passed via CMSG in a similar way to transmit. If no cmsg buffer is passed, then only application data records will be passed to userspace, and EIO is returned for other types of alerts.

EBADMSG is passed for decryption errors, and E2BIG is passed for framing errors. Both are unrecoverable.

I think E2BIG is for too long argument list. EMSGSIZE might be more appropriate.

Sounds good.

Also, we must check that the record is not too short (cipher specific). For TLS1.2 with AES-GCM the minimum length is 8 (IV) + 16 (TAG). The correct error for this case is EBADMSG, like a decryption failure.

Also, how about bad TLS version (e.g. not TLS1.2)?
A separate error type is required for bad version, because it triggers a unique alert in libraries such as OpenSSL.
I thought of using EINVAL for bad version. What do you think?

Ah, I did not realize there was a separate alert for that, sounds good.

I wonder if we should provide a more flexible method of obtaining errors for the future.
Maybe use a special CMSG for errors?
This CMSG will be triggered only after the socket enters the error state.

I'm not opposed to this in principle, but without a concrete use am hesitant to add it. I don't know of any other error codes that could be returned besides the ones discussed above.

Maybe try to read from the error queue here?

Sure.
