<content type='text'>
Add crypto_enqueue_request_head function that enqueues a
request in front of queue.
This will be used in crypto-engine, on error path. In case a request
was not executed by hardware, enqueue it back in front of queue (to
keep the order of requests).

Now that all templates provide a -&gt;create() method which creates an
instance, installs a strongly-typed -&gt;free() method directly to it, and
registers it, the older -&gt;alloc() and -&gt;free() methods in
'struct crypto_template' are no longer used.  Remove them.

Now that crypto_init_spawn() is only called by crypto_grab_spawn(),
simplify things by moving its functionality into crypto_grab_spawn().

In the process of doing this, also be more consistent about when the
spawn and instance are updated, and remove the crypto_spawn::dropref
flag since now it's always set.

Remove lots of helper functions that were previously used for
instantiating crypto templates, but are now unused:

- crypto_get_attr_alg() and similar functions looked up an inner
  algorithm directly from a template parameter.  These were replaced
  with getting the algorithm's name, then calling crypto_grab_*().

- crypto_init_spawn2() and similar functions initialized a spawn, given
  an algorithm.  Similarly, these were replaced with crypto_grab_*().

- crypto_alloc_instance() and similar functions allocated an instance
  with a single spawn, given the inner algorithm.  These aren't useful
  anymore since crypto_grab_*() need the instance allocated first.

use 'struct crypto_cipher_spawn' rather than the less specifically typed
'struct crypto_spawn', make crypto_spawn_cipher() take a pointer to a
'struct crypto_cipher_spawn' rather than a 'struct crypto_spawn'.

<title>crypto: cipher - introduce crypto_cipher_spawn and crypto_grab_cipher()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0764ac28763fdb533809090005956fcd3123fb60</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, "cipher" (single-block cipher) spawns are usually initialized
by using crypto_get_attr_alg() to look up the algorithm, then calling
crypto_init_spawn().  In one case, crypto_grab_spawn() is used directly.

The former way is different from how skcipher, aead, and akcipher spawns
are initialized (they use crypto_grab_*()), and for no good reason.
This difference introduces unnecessary complexity.

The crypto_grab_*() functions used to have some problems, like not
holding a reference to the algorithm and requiring the caller to
initialize spawn-&gt;base.inst.  But those problems are fixed now.

Also, the cipher spawns are not strongly typed; e.g., the API requires
that the user manually specify the flags CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_CIPHER and
CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_MASK.  Though the "cipher" algorithm type itself isn't
yet strongly typed, we can start by making the spawns strongly typed.

So, let's introduce a new 'struct crypto_cipher_spawn', and functions
crypto_grab_cipher() and crypto_drop_cipher() to grab and drop them.

Later patches will convert all cipher spawns to use these, then make
crypto_spawn_cipher() take 'struct crypto_cipher_spawn' as well, instead
of a bare 'struct crypto_spawn' as it currently does.

<title>crypto: algapi - pass instance to crypto_grab_spawn()</title>

Currently, crypto_spawn::inst is first used temporarily to pass the
instance to crypto_grab_spawn().  Then crypto_init_spawn() overwrites it
with crypto_spawn::next, which shares the same union.  Finally,
crypto_spawn::inst is set again when the instance is registered.

Make this less convoluted by just passing the instance as an argument to
crypto_grab_spawn() instead.

<title>crypto: api - Retain alg refcount in crypto_grab_spawn</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5f567fffaae995dce3498e175e47d5a779fb0270</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch changes crypto_grab_spawn to retain the reference count
on the algorithm.  This is because the caller needs to access the
algorithm parameters and without the reference count the algorithm
can be freed at any time.

The reference count will be subsequently dropped by the crypto API
once the instance has been registered.  The helper crypto_drop_spawn
will also conditionally drop the reference count depending on whether
it has been registered.

Note that the code is actually added to crypto_init_spawn.  However,
unless the caller activates this by setting spawn-&gt;dropref beforehand
then nothing happens.  The only caller that sets dropref is currently
crypto_grab_spawn.

Once all legacy users of crypto_init_spawn disappear, then we can
kill the dropref flag.

Internally each instance will maintain a list of its spawns prior
to registration.  This memory used by this list is shared with
other fields that are only used after registration.  In order for
this to work a new flag spawn-&gt;registered is added to indicate
whether spawn-&gt;inst can be used.

<title>crypto: algapi - make unregistration functions return void</title>

<content type='text'>
Some of the algorithm unregistration functions return -ENOENT when asked
to unregister a non-registered algorithm, while others always return 0
or always return void.  But no users check the return value, except for
two of the bulk unregistration functions which print a message on error
but still always return 0 to their caller, and crypto_del_alg() which
calls crypto_unregister_instance() which always returns 0.

Since unregistering a non-registered algorithm is always a kernel bug
but there isn't anything callers should do to handle this situation at
runtime, let's simplify things by making all the unregistration
functions return void, and moving the error message into
crypto_unregister_alg() and upgrading it to a WARN().

Currently when a spawn is removed we will zap its alg field.
This is racy because the spawn could belong to an unregistered
instance which may dereference the spawn-&gt;alg field.

This patch fixes this by keeping spawn-&gt;alg constant and instead
adding a new spawn-&gt;dead field to indicate that a spawn is going
away.
