Subject: [PATCH v3] crypto: rsassa-pkcs1 - Align DMA buffer to CRYPTO_DMA_ALIGN
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 10:41:56 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729004156.11925-1-changwei.zou@canonical.com> (raw)
out_buf is used as a DMA buffer for the RSA verification operation.
If out_buf is not aligned to CRYPTO_DMA_ALIGN, cacheline sharing
problems (data corruption) would occur on CPUs with DMA-incoherent caches,
leading to -EKEYREJECTED.
Fix by aligning out_buf to CRYPTO_DMA_ALIGN using PTR_ALIGN(), and
allocating CRYPTO_DMA_ALIGN - 1 extra bytes in the child_req allocation
to accommodate the alignment padding as child_reqsize is a variable.
The intermittent error 'Key was rejected by service' on i.MX8 with CAAM
can be triggered when loading signed kernel modules.
for i in $(seq 1 100); do
sudo modprobe xfs 2>&1 && echo "SUCCESS on attempt $i" \
&& sudo rmmod xfs || echo "FAILED on attempt $i"
done
