linux.git/fs/ext4/crypto.c, branch v4.1 Linux kernel source tree ext4 crypto: add ext4 encryption facilities 2015-04-12T04:43:56+00:00 Michael Halcrow mhalcrow@google.com 2015-04-12T04:43:56+00:00 b30ab0e03407d2aa2d9316cba199c757e4bfc8ad On encrypt, we will re-assign the buffer_heads to point to a bounce page rather than the control_page (which is the original page to write that contains the plaintext). The block I/O occurs against the bounce page. On write completion, we re-assign the buffer_heads to the original plaintext page. On decrypt, we will attach a read completion callback to the bio struct. This read completion will decrypt the read contents in-place prior to setting the page up-to-date. The current encryption mode, AES-256-XTS, lacks cryptographic integrity. AES-256-GCM is in-plan, but we will need to devise a mechanism for handling the integrity data.
