There's another function in the same file called xts_check_key()
that is used by some of the hardware drivers:
arch/s390/crypto/paes_s390.c: * xts_check_key verifies the key length is not odd and makes
[that references it in the comment but actually calls xts_verify_key in the code]
drivers/crypto/axis/artpec6_crypto.c: ret = xts_check_key(&cipher->base, key, keylen);
drivers/crypto/cavium/cpt/cptvf_algs.c: err = xts_check_key(tfm, key, keylen);
drivers/crypto/cavium/nitrox/nitrox_skcipher.c: ret = xts_check_key(tfm, key, keylen);
drivers/crypto/ccree/cc_cipher.c: xts_check_key(tfm, key, keylen)) {
drivers/crypto/marvell/octeontx/otx_cptvf_algs.c: ret = xts_check_key(crypto_skcipher_tfm(tfm), key, keylen);
drivers/crypto/marvell/octeontx2/otx2_cptvf_algs.c: ret = xts_check_key(crypto_skcipher_tfm(tfm), key, keylen);
drivers/crypto/atmel-aes.c: err = xts_check_key(crypto_skcipher_tfm(tfm), key, keylen);
It already has one check qualified by fips_enabled:
/* ensure that the AES and tweak key are not identical */
if (fips_enabled && !crypto_memneq(key, key + (keylen / 2), keylen / 2))
return -EINVAL;
Should that implement the same key length restrictions?
