Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2012 21:05:50 -0400 Message-ID: <1341968751-28331-1-git-send-email-tsally@atomicpeace.com> Return-path: Received: from atomicpeace.com ([50.116.19.59]:51300 "EHLO atomicpeace.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1752817Ab2GKBMs (ORCPT ); Tue, 10 Jul 2012 21:12:48 -0400 Sender: ecryptfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: tyhicks@canonical.com, dustin.kirkland@gazzang.com Cc: ecryptfs@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Tim Sally eCryptfs will mount with any cipher supported by the crypto subsystem, even if the cipher is not supported by eCryptfs itself. An error will not occur until a write. This change checks for eCryptfs cipher support at mount time and will not mount the filesystem if the cipher is not supported. The cipher name and blocksize are retrieved from ecryptfs_key_tfm because it will assign a default block size upon creation if none is specified in the mount options. This issue originally reported by Tyler Hicks in 03/2009. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/338914 Thanks, Tim Tim Sally (1): eCryptfs: check for eCryptfs cipher support at mount fs/ecryptfs/main.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+) -- 1.7.10.4
