Hi all,

here's my attempt to implement secure concatenation for NVMe-of TCP
as outlined in TP8018.
The original (v5) patchset had been split in two, the first part of
which has already been merged with nvme-6.11, and this is the second part
which actually implements secure concatenation.

Secure concatenation means that a TLS PSK is generated from the key
material negotiated by the DH-HMAC-CHAP protocol, and the TLS PSK
is then used for a subsequent TLS connection.
The difference between the original definition of secure concatenation
and the method outlined in TP8018 is that with TP8018 the connection
is reset after DH-HMAC-CHAP negotiation, and a new connection is setup
with the generated TLS PSK.

To implement that Sagi came up with the idea to directly reset the
admin queue once the DH-CHAP negotiation has completed; that way
it will be transparent to the upper layers and we don't have to
worry about exposing queues which should not be used.

A blktest submission is in
https://github.com/osandov/blktests/pull/147
in case anyone want to run their own tests.

As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.

Patchset can be found at
git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hare/nvme.git
branch secure-concat.v10

Changes to v9:
- Include reviews from Eric Biggers
- Fixup secure concatenation after reset
- Rebased to nvme-6.12

Changes to v8:
- Include reviews from Eric Biggers
- Make hkdf a proper module
- Add testcases for hkdf

Changes to v7:
- Add patch to display nvme target TLS status in debugfs
- Include reviews from Sagi

Changes to v6:
- Rebase to nvme-6.11

Changes to v5:
- Include reviews from Sagi
- Split patchset in two parts

Changes to v4:
- Rework reset admin queue functionality based on an idea
  from Sagi (thanks!)
    - kbuild robot fixes
      - Fixup dhchap negotiation with non-empty C2 value

Changes to v3:
- Include reviews from Sagi
- Do not start I/O queues after DH-HMAC-CHAP negotiation
- Use bool to indicate TLS has been enabled on a queue
- Add 'tls_keyring' sysfs attribute
- Add 'tls_configured_key' sysfs attribute

Changes to v2:
- Fixup reset after dhchap negotiation
- Disable namespace scanning on I/O queues after
  dhchap negotiation
          - Reworked TLS key handling (again)

Changes to the original submission:
- Sanitize TLS key handling
- Fixup modconfig compilation

Hannes Reinecke (9):
  crypto,fs: Separate out hkdf_extract() and hkdf_expand()
  nvme: add nvme_auth_generate_psk()
  nvme: add nvme_auth_generate_digest()
  nvme: add nvme_auth_derive_tls_psk()
  nvme-keyring: add nvme_tls_psk_refresh()
  nvme-tcp: request secure channel concatenation
  nvme-fabrics: reset admin connection for secure concatenation
  nvmet-tcp: support secure channel concatenation
  nvmet: add tls_concat and tls_key debugfs entries
