Subject: [PATCH 3.2 044/153] crypto: hash - annotate algorithms taking
 optional key

3.2.102-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

commit a208fa8f33031b9e0aba44c7d1b7e68eb0cbd29e upstream.

We need to consistently enforce that keyed hashes cannot be used without
setting the key.  To do this we need a reliable way to determine whether
a given hash algorithm is keyed or not.  AF_ALG currently does this by
checking for the presence of a ->setkey() method.  However, this is
actually slightly broken because the CRC-32 algorithms implement
->setkey() but can also be used without a key.  (The CRC-32 "key" is not
actually a cryptographic key but rather represents the initial state.
If not overridden, then a default initial state is used.)

Prepare to fix this by introducing a flag CRYPTO_ALG_OPTIONAL_KEY which
indicates that the algorithm has a ->setkey() method, but it is not
required to be called.  Then set it on all the CRC-32 algorithms.

The same also applies to the Adler-32 implementation in Lustre.

Also, the cryptd and mcryptd templates have to pass through the flag
from their underlying algorithm.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Drop changes to nonexistent drivers
 - There's no CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL flag
 - Adjust filenames]
