dm crypt: add plain64 iv

2009-12-10T23:52:25+00:00

The default plain IV is 32-bit only.

This plain64 IV provides a compatible mode for encrypted devices bigger
than 4TB.

dm crypt: make wipe message also wipe essiv key

2009-12-10T23:51:57+00:00

The "wipe key" message is used to wipe the volume key from memory
temporarily, for example when suspending to RAM.

But the initialisation vector in ESSIV mode is calculated from the
hashed volume key, so the wipe message should wipe this IV key too and
reinitialise it when the volume key is reinstated.

This patch adds an IV wipe method called from a wipe message callback.
ESSIV is then reinitialised using the init function added by the
last patch.

dm crypt: separate essiv allocation from initialisation

2009-12-10T23:51:56+00:00

This patch separates the construction of IV from its initialisation.
(For ESSIV it is a hash calculation based on volume key.)

Constructor code now preallocates hash tfm and salt array
and saves it in a private IV structure.

The next patch requires this to reinitialise the wiped IV
without reallocating memory when resuming a suspended device.

dm crypt: restructure essiv error path

2009-12-10T23:51:56+00:00

Use kzfree for salt deallocation because it is derived from the volume
key.  Use a common error path in ESSIV constructor.

Required by a later patch which fixes the way key material is wiped
from memory.

dm crypt: move private iv fields to structs

2009-12-10T23:51:55+00:00

Define private structures for IV so it's easy to add further attributes
in a following patch which fixes the way key material is wiped from
memory.  Also move ESSIV destructor and remove unnecessary 'status'
operation.

There are no functional changes in this patch.

dm crypt: make wipe message also wipe tfm key

2009-12-10T23:51:55+00:00

The "wipe key" message is used to wipe a volume key from memory
temporarily, for example when suspending to RAM.

There are two instances of the key in memory (inside crypto tfm)
but only one got wiped.  This patch wipes them both.

tree-wide: fix a very frequent spelling mistake

2009-11-09T08:40:54+00:00

something-bility is spelled as something-blity
so a grep for 'blit' would find these lines

this is so trivial that I didn't split it by subsystem / copy
additional maintainers - all changes are to comments
The only purpose is to get fewer false positives when grepping
around the kernel sources.

dm table: pass correct dev area size to device_area_is_valid

2009-07-23T19:30:42+00:00

Incorrect device area lengths are being passed to device_area_is_valid().

The regression appeared in 2.6.31-rc1 through commit
754c5fc7ebb417b23601a6222a6005cc2e7f2913.

With the dm-stripe target, the size of the target (ti->len) was used
instead of the stripe_width (ti->len/#stripes).  An example of a
consequent incorrect error message is:

  device-mapper: table: 254:0: sdb too small for target

Fix congestion_wait() sync/async vs read/write confusion

2009-07-10T18:31:53+00:00

Commit 1faa16d22877f4839bd433547d770c676d1d964c accidentally broke
the bdi congestion wait queue logic, causing us to wait on congestion
for WRITE (== 1) when we really wanted BLK_RW_ASYNC (== 0) instead.
