dm: add integrity target
The dm-integrity target emulates a block device that has additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity information. A general problem with storing integrity tags with every sector is that writing the sector and the integrity tag must be atomic - i.e. in case of crash, either both sector and integrity tag or none of them is written. To guarantee write atomicity the dm-integrity target uses a journal. It writes sector data and integrity tags into a journal, commits the journal and then copies the data and integrity tags to their respective location. The dm-integrity target can be used with the dm-crypt target - in this situation the dm-crypt target creates the integrity data and passes them to the dm-integrity target via bio_integrity_payload attached to the bio. In this mode, the dm-crypt and dm-integrity targets provide authenticated disk encryption - if the attacker modifies the encrypted device, an I/O error is returned instead of random data. The dm-integrity target can also be used as a standalone target, in this mode it calculates and verifies the integrity tag internally. In this mode, the dm-integrity target can be used to detect silent data corruption on the disk or in the I/O path.

The dm-integrity target emulates a block device that has additional
|
||||
per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity information.
|
||||
|
||||
A general problem with storing integrity tags with every sector is that
|
||||
writing the sector and the integrity tag must be atomic - i.e. in case of
|
||||
crash, either both sector and integrity tag or none of them is written.
|
||||
|
||||
To guarantee write atomicity, the dm-integrity target uses journal, it
|
||||
writes sector data and integrity tags into a journal, commits the journal
|
||||
and then copies the data and integrity tags to their respective location.
|
||||
|
||||
The dm-integrity target can be used with the dm-crypt target - in this
|
||||
situation the dm-crypt target creates the integrity data and passes them
|
||||
to the dm-integrity target via bio_integrity_payload attached to the bio.
|
||||
In this mode, the dm-crypt and dm-integrity targets provide authenticated
|
||||
disk encryption - if the attacker modifies the encrypted device, an I/O
|
||||
error is returned instead of random data.
|
||||
|
||||
The dm-integrity target can also be used as a standalone target, in this
|
||||
mode it calculates and verifies the integrity tag internally. In this
|
||||
mode, the dm-integrity target can be used to detect silent data
|
||||
corruption on the disk or in the I/O path.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When loading the target for the first time, the kernel driver will format
|
||||
the device. But it will only format the device if the superblock contains
|
||||
zeroes. If the superblock is neither valid nor zeroed, the dm-integrity
|
||||
target can't be loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
To use the target for the first time:
|
||||
1. overwrite the superblock with zeroes
|
||||
2. load the dm-integrity target with one-sector size, the kernel driver
|
||||
will format the device
|
||||
3. unload the dm-integrity target
|
||||
4. read the "provided_data_sectors" value from the superblock
|
||||
5. load the dm-integrity target with the the target size
|
||||
"provided_data_sectors"
|
||||
6. if you want to use dm-integrity with dm-crypt, load the dm-crypt target
|
||||
with the size "provided_data_sectors"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Target arguments:
|
||||
|
||||
1. the underlying block device
|
||||
|
||||
2. the number of reserved sector at the beginning of the device - the
|
||||
dm-integrity won't read of write these sectors
|
||||
|
||||
3. the size of the integrity tag (if "-" is used, the size is taken from
|
||||
the internal-hash algorithm)
|
||||
|
||||
4. mode:
|
||||
D - direct writes (without journal) - in this mode, journaling is
|
||||
not used and data sectors and integrity tags are written
|
||||
separately. In case of crash, it is possible that the data
|
||||
and integrity tag doesn't match.
|
||||
J - journaled writes - data and integrity tags are written to the
|
||||
journal and atomicity is guaranteed. In case of crash,
|
||||
either both data and tag or none of them are written. The
|
||||
journaled mode degrades write throughput twice because the
|
||||
data have to be written twice.
|
||||
|
||||
5. the number of additional arguments
|
||||
|
||||
Additional arguments:
|
||||
|
||||
journal-sectors:number
|
||||
The size of journal, this argument is used only if formatting the
|
||||
device. If the device is already formatted, the value from the
|
||||
superblock is used.
|
||||
|
||||
interleave-sectors:number
|
||||
The number of interleaved sectors. This values is rounded down to
|
||||
a power of two. If the device is already formatted, the value from
|
||||
the superblock is used.
|
||||
|
||||
buffer-sectors:number
|
||||
The number of sectors in one buffer. The value is rounded down to
|
||||
a power of two.
|
||||
|
||||
The tag area is accessed using buffers, the buffer size is
|
||||
configurable. The large buffer size means that the I/O size will
|
||||
be larger, but there could be less I/Os issued.
|
||||
|
||||
journal-watermark:number
|
||||
The journal watermark in percents. When the size of the journal
|
||||
exceeds this watermark, the thread that flushes the journal will
|
||||
be started.
|
||||
|
||||
commit-time:number
|
||||
Commit time in milliseconds. When this time passes, the journal is
|
||||
written. The journal is also written immediatelly if the FLUSH
|
||||
request is received.
|
||||
|
||||
internal-hash:algorithm(:key) (the key is optional)
|
||||
Use internal hash or crc.
|
||||
When this argument is used, the dm-integrity target won't accept
|
||||
integrity tags from the upper target, but it will automatically
|
||||
generate and verify the integrity tags.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use a crc algorithm (such as crc32), then integrity target
|
||||
will protect the data against accidental corruption.
|
||||
You can also use a hmac algorithm (for example
|
||||
"hmac(sha256):0123456789abcdef"), in this mode it will provide
|
||||
cryptographic authentication of the data without encryption.
|
||||
|
||||
When this argument is not used, the integrity tags are accepted
|
||||
from an upper layer target, such as dm-crypt. The upper layer
|
||||
target should check the validity of the integrity tags.
|
||||
|
||||
journal-crypt:algorithm(:key) (the key is optional)
|
||||
Encrypt the journal using given algorithm to make sure that the
|
||||
attacker can't read the journal. You can use a block cipher here
|
||||
(such as "cbc(aes)") or a stream cipher (for example "chacha20",
|
||||
"salsa20", "ctr(aes)" or "ecb(arc4)").
|
||||
|
||||
The journal contains history of last writes to the block device,
|
||||
an attacker reading the journal could see the last sector nubmers
|
||||
that were written. From the sector numbers, the attacker can infer
|
||||
the size of files that were written. To protect against this
|
||||
situation, you can encrypt the journal.
|
||||
|
||||
journal-mac:algorithm(:key) (the key is optional)
|
||||
Protect sector numbers in the journal from accidental or malicious
|
||||
modification. To protect against accidental modification, use a
|
||||
crc algorithm, to protect against malicious modification, use a
|
||||
hmac algorithm with a key.
|
||||
|
||||
This option is not needed when using internal-hash because in this
|
||||
mode, the integrity of journal entries is checked when replaying
|
||||
the journal. Thus, modified sector number would be detected at
|
||||
this stage.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The journal mode (D/J), buffer-sectors, journal-watermark, commit-time can
|
||||
be changed when reloading the target (load an inactive table and swap the
|
||||
tables with suspend and resume). The other arguments should not be changed
|
||||
when reloading the target because the layout of disk data depend on them
|
||||
and the reloaded target would be non-functional.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The layout of the formatted block device:
|
||||
* reserved sectors (they are not used by this target, they can be used for
|
||||
storing LUKS metadata or for other purpose), the size of the reserved
|
||||
area is specified in the target arguments
|
||||
* superblock (4kiB)
|
||||
* magic string - identifies that the device was formatted
|
||||
* version
|
||||
* log2(interleave sectors)
|
||||
* integrity tag size
|
||||
* the number of journal sections
|
||||
* provided data sectors - the number of sectors that this target
|
||||
provides (i.e. the size of the device minus the size of all
|
||||
metadata and padding). The user of this target should not send
|
||||
bios that access data beyond the "provided data sectors" limit.
|
||||
* flags - a flag is set if journal-mac is used
|
||||
* journal
|
||||
The journal is divided into sections, each section contains:
|
||||
* metadata area (4kiB), it contains journal entries
|
||||
every journal entry contains:
|
||||
* logical sector (specifies where the data and tag should
|
||||
be written)
|
||||
* last 8 bytes of data
|
||||
* integrity tag (the size is specified in the superblock)
|
||||
every metadata sector ends with
|
||||
* mac (8-bytes), all the macs in 8 metadata sectors form a
|
||||
64-byte value. It is used to store hmac of sector
|
||||
numbers in the journal section, to protect against a
|
||||
possibility that the attacker tampers with sector
|
||||
numbers in the journal.
|
||||
* commit id
|
||||
* data area (the size is variable; it depends on how many journal
|
||||
entries fit into the metadata area)
|
||||
every sector in the data area contains:
|
||||
* data (504 bytes of data, the last 8 bytes are stored in
|
||||
the journal entry)
|
||||
* commit id
|
||||
To test if the whole journal section was written correctly, every
|
||||
512-byte sector of the journal ends with 8-byte commit id. If the
|
||||
commit id matches on all sectors in a journal section, then it is
|
||||
assumed that the section was written correctly. If the commit id
|
||||
doesn't match, the section was written partially and it should not
|
||||
be replayed.
|
||||
* one or more runs of interleaved tags and data. Each run contains:
|
||||
* tag area - it contains integrity tags. There is one tag for each
|
||||
sector in the data area
|
||||
* data area - it contains data sectors. The number of data sectors
|
||||
in one run must be a power of two. log2 of this value is stored
|
||||
in the superblock.
