[PATCHv17 00/11] nvme: In-band authentication support

Hi all,

recent updates to the NVMe spec have added definitions for in-band
authentication, and seeing that it provides some real benefit
especially for NVMe-TCP here's an attempt to implement it.

Thanks to Nicolai Stange the crypto DH framework has been upgraded
to provide us with a FFDHE implementation; I've updated the patchset
to use the ephemeral key generation provided there.

Note that this is just for in-band authentication. Secure
concatenation (ie starting TLS with the negotiated parameters)
requires a TLS handshake, which the in-kernel TLS implementation
does not provide. This is being worked on with a different patchset
which is still WIP.

The nvme-cli support has already been merged; please use the latest
nvme-cli git repository to build the most recent version.

A copy of this patchset can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hare/scsi-devel
branch auth.v17

The patchset is being cut against nvme-5.20.

As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.

Changes to v16:
- Fixup memory leaks
- Fix crash on invalid controller secret
- Abort connect command on invalid conroller secret

Changes to v15:
- Rebase to nvme-5.20

Changes to v14:
- Rebase to nvme-5.19
- Fixup sparse warnings as noted by Christoph
- Fixup Kconfig dependencies
- Add NVME_CONNECT_AUTHREQ definitions

Changes to v13:
- Fixup sysfs attribute visibility (reported by Chaitanya)
- Fixup SUCCESS1 handling
- Re-introduce crypto_has_shash() and crypto_has_kpp() helper
- Unse 'authenticated' flag on failure

Changes to v12:
- Replaces crypto_has_shash() and crypto_has_kpp() helper
  with CONFIG_ checks
- Fixed kbuild robot warning in pr_fmt()

Changes to v11:
- Fixup type for FAILURE2 message (Prashant Nayak)
- Do not sent SUCCESS2 if bi-directional authentication is not
  requested (Martin George)

Changes to v10:
- Fixup error return value when authentication failed

Changes to v9:
- Include review from Chaitanya
- Use sparse array for dhgroup and hash lookup
- Common function for auth_send and auth_receive

Changes to v8:
- Rebased to Nicolais crypto DH rework
- Fixed oops on non-fabrics devices

Changes to v7:
- Space out hash list and dhgroup list in nvme negotiate data
  to be conformant with the spec
- Update sequence number handling to start with a random value and
  ignore '0' as mandated by the spec
- Update nvme_auth_generate_key to return the key as
  suggested by Sagi
- Add nvmet_parse_fabrics_io_cmd() as suggested by hch

Changes to v6:
- Use 'u8' for DH group id and hash id
- Use 'struct nvme_dhchap_key'
- Rename variables to drop 'DHCHAP'
- Include reviews from Chaitanya

Changes to v5:
- Unify nvme_auth_generate_key()
- Unify nvme_auth_extract_key()
- Fixed bug where re-authentication with wrong controller key
  would not fail
- Include reviews from Sagi

Changes to v4:
- Validate against blktest suite
- Fixup base64 decoding
- Transform secret with correct hmac algorithm

Changes to v3:
- Renamed parameter to 'dhchap_ctrl_key'
- Fixed bi-directional authentication
- Included reviews from Sagi
- Fixed base64 algorithm for transport encoding

Changes to v2:
- Dropped non-standard algorithms
- Reworked base64 based on fs/crypto/fname.c
- Fixup crash with no keys

Changes to the original submission:
- Included reviews from Vladislav
- Included reviews from Sagi
- Implemented re-authentication support
- Fixed up key handling
