From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jari Ruusu Subject: Announce loop-AES-v2.2a file/swap crypto package Date: Wed, 08 Sep 2004 22:20:41 +0300 Sender: linux-kernel-announce-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <413F5B89.4AF97168@users.sourceforge.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: linux-crypto@nl.linux.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org loop-AES changes since previous release: - Fixed multi-key ioctl incompatibility with sparc64 boxes running 64 bit kernel and 32 bit userland. Fix enabled for 2.4.26 and later 2.4 kernels. 2.6 kernels were not affected. - Added key scrubbing support for AES loop cipher. This feature is not enabled by default because it doubles storage space requirement for loop encryption keys. To enable, add KEYSCRUB=y parameter to loop module make command. (2.4 and 2.6 kernels only). - Added multi-key compatibility to losetup and mount -p option handling. - Fixed incompatibility with 2.6.8.1 kernel struct bio handling. - Small optimization to bio I/O barrier support. Also added support for queue->issue_flush_fn() I/O barrier calls. (2.6 kernels only). - Added workaround for kernel bug that causes I/O errors on -EWOULDBLOCK I/O elevator failures (2.6 kernels only). bzip2 compressed tarball is here: http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES/loop-AES-v2.2a.tar.bz2 md5sum ab10564704317b38b5c7f24e382acae3 http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES/loop-AES-v2.2a.tar.bz2.sign -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD
