Even though the kernel's implementations of AES-XTS were updated to implement ciphertext stealing and can operate on inputs of any size larger than or equal to the AES block size, this feature is rarely used in practice. In fact, in the kernel, AES-XTS is only used to operate on 4096 or 512 byte blocks, which means that not only the ciphertext stealing is effectively dead code, the logic in the bit sliced NEON implementation to deal with fewer than 8 blocks at a time is also never used. Since the bit-sliced NEON driver already depends on the plain NEON version, which is slower but can operate on smaller data quantities more straightforwardly, let's fallback to the plain NEON implementation of XTS for any residual inputs that are not multiples of 128 bytes. This allows us to remove a lot of complicated logic that rarely gets exercised in practice. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> |
