The CRYPTO_TFM_RES_BAD_KEY_LEN flag was apparently meant as a way to
make the ->setkey() functions provide more information about errors.However, no one actually checks for this flag, which makes it pointless.
Also, many algorithms fail to set this flag when given a bad length key.
Reviewing just the generic implementations, this is the case for
aes-fixed-time, cbcmac, echainiv, nhpoly1305, pcrypt, rfc3686, rfc4309,
rfc7539, rfc7539esp, salsa20, seqiv, and xcbc. But there are probably
many more in arch/*/crypto/ and drivers/crypto/.Some algorithms can even set this flag when the key is the correct
length. For example, authenc and authencesn set it when the key payload
is malformed in any way (not just a bad length), the atmel-sha and ccree
drivers can set it if a memory allocation fails, and the chelsio driver
sets it for bad auth tag lengths, not just bad key lengths.So even if someone actually wanted to start checking this flag (which
seems unlikely, since it's been unused for a long time), there would be
a lot of work needed to get it working correctly. But it would probably
be much better to go back to the drawing board and just define different
return values, like -EINVAL if the key is invalid for the algorithm vs.
-EKEYREJECTED if the key was rejected by a policy like "no weak keys".
That would be much simpler, less error-prone, and easier to test.So just remove this flag.

xxhash is currently implemented as a self-contained module in /lib.
This patch enables that module to be used as part of the generic kernel
crypto framework. It adds a simple wrapper to the 64bit version.I've also added test vectors (with help from Nick Terrell). The upstream
xxhash code is tested by running hashing operation on random 222 byte
data with seed values of 0 and a prime number. The upstream test
suite can be found at https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash/blob/cf46e0c/xxhsum.c#L664Essentially hashing is run on data of length 0,1,14,222 with the
aforementioned seed values 0 and prime 2654435761. The particular random
222 byte string was provided to me by Nick Terrell by reading
/dev/random and the checksums were calculated by the upstream xxsum
utility with the following bash script:dd if=/dev/random of=TEST_VECTOR bs=1 count=222
for a in 0 1; do
for l in 0 1 14 222; do
for s in 0 2654435761; do
echo algo $a length $l seed $s;
head -c $l TEST_VECTOR | ~/projects/kernel/xxHash/xxhsum -H$a -s$s
