Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/5] TLX Rx

TLS tcp socket RX implementation, to match existing TX code.

This patchset completes the software TLS socket, allowing full
bi-directional communication over TLS using normal socket syscalls,
after the handshake has been done in userspace.  Only the symmetric
encryption is done in the kernel.

This allows usage of TLS sockets from within the kernel (for example
with network block device, or from bpf).  Performance can be better
than userspace, with appropriate crypto routines [1].

sk->sk_socket->ops must be overridden to implement splice_read and
poll, but otherwise the interface & implementation match TX closely.
strparser is used to parse TLS framing on receive.

There are Openssl RX patches that work with this interface [2], as
well as a testing tool using the socket interface directly (without
cmsg support) [3].  An example tcp socket setup is:

  // Normal tcp socket connect/accept, and TLS handshake
  // using any TLS library.
  setsockopt(sock, SOL_TCP, TCP_ULP, "tls", sizeof("tls"));

  struct tls12_crypto_info_aes_gcm_128 crypto_info_rx;
  // Fill in crypto_info based on negotiated keys.

  setsockopt(sock, SOL_TLS, TLS_RX, &crypto_info, sizeof(crypto_info_rx));
  // You can optionally TLX_TX as well.

  char buffer[16384];
  int ret = recv(sock, buffer, 16384);

  // cmsg can be received using recvmsg and a msg_control 
  // of type TLS_GET_RECORD_TYPE will be set.

[1] Recent crypto patchset to remove copies, resulting in optimally
zero copies vs. userspace's one, vs. previous kernel's two.

Dave Watson (5):
  tls: Generalize zerocopy_from_iter
  tls: Move cipher info to a separate struct
  tls: Pass error code explicitly to tls_err_abort
  tls: RX path for ktls
  tls: Add receive path documentation
