dm crypt: fix access beyond the end of allocated space
The DM crypt target accesses memory beyond allocated space resulting in a crash on 32 bit x86 systems. This bug is very old (it dates back to 2.6.25 commit 3a7f6c990ad04 "dm crypt: use async crypto"). However, this bug was masked by the fact that kmalloc rounds the size up to the next power of two. This bug wasn't exposed until 3.17-rc1 commit 298a9fa08a ("dm crypt: use per-bio data"). By switching to using per-bio data there was no longer any padding beyond the end of a dm-crypt allocated memory block. To minimize allocation overhead dm-crypt puts several structures into one block allocated with kmalloc. The block holds struct ablkcipher_request, cipher-specific scratch pad (crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize(any_tfm(cc))), struct dm_crypt_request and an initialization vector. The variable dmreq_start is set to offset of struct dm_crypt_request within this memory block. dm-crypt allocates the block with this size: cc->dmreq_start + sizeof(struct dm_crypt_request) + cc->iv_size. When accessing the initialization vector, dm-crypt uses the function iv_of_dmreq, which performs this calculation: ALIGN((unsigned long)(dmreq + 1), crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) + 1). dm-crypt allocated "cc->iv_size" bytes beyond the end of dm_crypt_request structure. However, when dm-crypt accesses the initialization vector, it takes a pointer to the end of dm_crypt_request, aligns it, and then uses it as the initialization vector. If the end of dm_crypt_request is not aligned on a crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) boundary the alignment causes the initialization vector to point beyond the allocated space. Fix this bug by calculating the variable iv_size_padding and adding it to the allocated size. Also correct the alignment of dm_crypt_request. struct dm_crypt_request is specific to dm-crypt (it isn't used by the crypto subsystem at all), so it is aligned on __alignof__(struct dm_crypt_request). Also align per_bio_data_size on ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN, so that it is aligned as if the block was allocated with kmalloc.
