Enzo Matsumiya 998a67b954 smb: client: fix crypto buffers in non-linear memory
The crypto API, through the scatterlist API, expects input buffers to be
in linear memory.  We handle this with the cifs_sg_set_buf() helper
that converts vmalloc'd memory to their corresponding pages.

However, when we allocate our aead_request buffer (@creq in
smb2ops.c::crypt_message()), we do so with kvzalloc(), which possibly
puts aead_request->__ctx in vmalloc area.

AEAD algorithm then uses ->__ctx for its private/internal data and
operations, and uses sg_set_buf() for such data on a few places.

This works fine as long as @creq falls into kmalloc zone (small
requests) or vmalloc'd memory is still within linear range.

Tasks' stacks are vmalloc'd by default (CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y), so too
many tasks will increment the base stacks' addresses to a point where
virt_addr_valid(buf) will fail (BUG() in sg_set_buf()) when that
happens.

In practice: too many parallel reads and writes on an encrypted mount
will trigger this bug.

To fix this, always alloc @creq with kmalloc() instead.
Also drop the @sensitive_size variable/arguments since
kfree_sensitive() doesn't need it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
