The lock of the cipher_context can be removed since post-2.5.58 a new call has been added which makes the IV an argument. However, that's a minor change. In case you want to test it, you need to patch losetup too, since it needs to parse /proc/crypto.=20 http://therapy.endorphin.org/patches/losetup-2.5.diff Regards, Clemens p.s.: Andrew please send me carbon copies of your mails.
