[PATCH v11 1/5] s390/zcrypt: Fix CPRB memory allocation in zcrypt misc code

Harald Freudenberger <[email protected]> Mon, 3 Aug 2026 10:33:34 +0200
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-s390
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Both CPRB alloc functions in zcrypt_ccamisc.c and zcrypt_ep11misc.c
did not round up the memory allocation to a multiple of 4 bytes as it
is needed by the zcrypt layer to process the CPRBs.

Now the alloc_and_prep_cprbmem() and alloc_cprbmem() functions
guarantee that the base CPRB struct and a possible parameter block are
aligned to a 4-byte boundary and the backing memory allocation is
rounded up to the next multiple of 4 byte. Also the free_cprbmem() is
updated and scrubs the rounded up amount of memory.

Fixes: 9bdb5f7e8369 ("s390/zcrypt: Introduce cprb mempool for cca misc functions")
