2026-05-25dm-inlinecrypt: add support for hardware-wrapped keysLinlin Zhang
Add support for hardware-wrapped encryption keys to the dm-inlinecrypt target. Introduce a new optional argument <key_type> to indicate whether the provided key is a raw key or a hardware-wrapped key. Based on this flag, the appropriate blk-crypto key type is selected when initializing the key. This allows dm-inlinecrypt to work with hardware that requires keys to be wrapped and managed by the underlying inline encryption engine. Update the target argument parsing accordingly and pass the key type to blk_crypto_init_key(). Documentation is also updated to reflect the new parameter and usage.

2026-05-12dm-inlinecrypt: add target for inline block device encryptionEric Biggers
Add a new device-mapper target "dm-inlinecrypt" that is similar to dm-crypt but uses the blk-crypto API instead of the regular crypto API. This allows it to take advantage of inline encryption hardware such as that commonly built into UFS host controllers. The table syntax matches dm-crypt's, but for now only a stripped-down set of parameters is supported. For example, for now AES-256-XTS is the only supported cipher. dm-inlinecrypt is based on Android's dm-default-key with the controversial passthrough support removed. Note that due to the removal of passthrough support, use of dm-inlinecrypt in combination with fscrypt causes double encryption of file contents (similar to dm-crypt + fscrypt), with the fscrypt layer not being able to use the inline encryption hardware. This makes dm-inlinecrypt unusable on systems such as Android that use fscrypt and where a more optimized approach is needed. It is however suitable as a replacement for dm-crypt. dm-inlinecrypt supports both keyring key and hex key, the former avoids the key to be exposed in dm-table message. Similar to dm-default-key in Android, it will fallabck to the software block crypto once the inline crypto hardware cannot support the expected cipher.
