git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Add DM verity support for signature verification with 2nd keyring - Fix DM verity to skip verity work if IO completes with error while system is shutting down - Add new DM multipath "IO affinity" path selector that maps IO destined to a given path to a specific CPU based on user provided mapping - Rename DM multipath path selector source files to have "dm-ps" prefix - Add REQ_NOWAIT support to some other simple DM targets that don't block in more elaborate ways waiting for IO - Export DM crypt's kcryptd workqueue via sysfs (WQ_SYSFS) - Fix error return code in DM's target_message() if empty message is received - A handful of other small cleanups * tag 'for-5.11/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm cache: simplify the return expression of load_mapping() dm ebs: avoid double unlikely() notation when using IS_ERR() dm verity: skip verity work if I/O error when system is shutting down dm crypt: export sysfs of kcryptd workqueue dm ioctl: fix error return code in target_message dm crypt: Constify static crypt_iv_operations dm: add support for REQ_NOWAIT to various targets dm: rename multipath path selector source files to have "dm-ps" prefix dm mpath: add IO affinity path selector dm verity: Add support for signature verification with 2nd keyring dm: remove unnecessary current->bio_list check when submitting split bio

2020-12-05dm verity: Add support for signature verification with 2nd keyringMickaël Salaün1-1/+6
Add a new configuration DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG_SECONDARY_KEYRING to enable dm-verity signatures to be verified against the secondary trusted keyring. Instead of relying on the builtin trusted keyring (with hard-coded certificates), the second trusted keyring can include certificate authorities from the builtin trusted keyring and child certificates loaded at run time. Using the secondary trusted keyring enables to use dm-verity disks (e.g. loop devices) signed by keys which did not exist at kernel build time, leveraging the certificate chain of trust model. In practice, this makes it possible to update certificates without kernel update and reboot, aligning with module and kernel (kexec) signature verification which already use the secondary trusted keyring.

2020-07-13dm verity: add "panic_on_corruption" error handling modeJeongHyeon Lee1-0/+4
Samsung smart phones may need the ability to panic on corruption. Not all devices provide the bootloader support needed to use the existing "restart_on_corruption" mode. Additional details for why Samsung needs this new mode can be found here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2020-June/msg00235.html Signed-off-by: jhs2.lee <jhs2.lee@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
2019-08-23dm verity: add root hash pkcs#7 signature verificationJaskaran Khurana1-0/+7
The verification is to support cases where the root hash is not secured by Trusted Boot, UEFI Secureboot or similar technologies. One of the use cases for this is for dm-verity volumes mounted after boot, the root hash provided during the creation of the dm-verity volume has to be secure and thus in-kernel validation implemented here will be used before we trust the root hash and allow the block device to be created. The signature being provided for verification must verify the root hash and must be trusted by the builtin keyring for verification to succeed. The hash is added as a key of type "user" and the description is passed to the kernel so it can look it up and use it for verification. Adds CONFIG_DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG which can be turned on if root hash verification is needed. Kernel commandline dm_verity module parameter 'require_signatures' will indicate whether to force root hash signature verification (for all dm verity volumes).
