[PATCHv11 00/18] nvme: In-kernel TLS support for TCP

[Hannes Reinecke]

Hi all,

with the merge of Chuck Levers handshake upcall mechanism and
my tls_read_sock() implementation finally merged with net-next
it's now time to restart on the actual issue, namely implementing
in-kernel TLS support for nvme-tcp.

The patchset is based on the recent net-next git tree;
everything after commit ba4a734e1aa0 ("net/tls: avoid TCP window
full during ->read_sock()") should work.
You might want to add the patch
'nvmet-tcp: use 'spin_lock_bh' for state_lock()'
before applying this patchset; otherwise results might be ...
interesting.

It also requires the 'tlshd' userspace daemon
(https://github.com/oracle/ktls-utils)
for the actual TLS handshake.
Changes for nvme-cli are already included in the upstream repository.

Theory of operation:
A dedicated '.nvme' keyring is created to hold the pre-shared keys (PSKs)
for the TLS handshake. Keys will have to be provisioned before TLS handshake
is attempted; that can be done with the 'nvme gen-tls-key' command for nvme-cli
(patches are already merged upstream).
After connection to the remote TCP port the client side will use the
'best' PSK (as inferred from the NVMe TCP spec) or the PSK specified
by the '--tls_key' option to nvme-cli and call the TLS userspace daemon
to initiate a TLS handshake.
The server side will then invoke the TLS userspace daemon to run the TLS
handshake.
If the TLS handshake succeeds the userspace daemon will be activating
kTLS on the socket, and control is passed back to the kernel.

This implementation currently does not implement the so-called
'secure concatenation' mode from NVMe-TCP; a TPAR is still pending
with fixes for it, so I'll wait until it's published before
posting patches for that.

Patchset can be found at:
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hare/nvme.git
branch tls.v16

For testing I'm using this script, running on a nvme target
with NQN 'nqn.test' and using 127.0.0.1 as a port; the port
has to set 'addr_tsas' to 'tls1.3':

modprobe nvmet-tcp
nvmetcli restore
modprobe nvme-tcp
./nvme gen-tls-key --subsysnqn=nqn.test -i
./nvme gen-tls-key --subsysnqn=nqn.2014-08.org.nvmexpress.discovery -i
tlshd -c /etc/tlshd.conf

and then one can do a simple:
# nvme connect -t tcp -a 127.0.0.1 -s 4420 -n nqn.test --tls
to start the connection.

As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.

Changes to v10:
- Include reviews from Sagi

Changes to v9:
- Close race between done() and timeout()
- Add logging message for icreq/icresp failure
- Sparse fixes
- Restrict TREQ setting to 'not required' or 'required'
  when TLS is enabled

Changes to v8:
- Simplify reference counting as suggested by Sagi
- Implement nvmf_parse_key() to simplify options parsing
- Add patch to peek at icreq to figure out whether TLS
  should be started

Changes to v7:
- Include reviews from Simon

Changes to v4:
- Split off network patches into a separate
  patchset
