FYI -- with a linus git kernel of yesterday or so I ran into a problem where
one cipher module (CBC) was compiled in and the rest modular. dm_crypt
could not resolve the cipher module until I turned it into a module.
I don't remember if cryptomanager was modular or not.
I don't have the exact configuration anymore unfortunately, but just
wanted to report the problem.
Also I found that cryptomanager is quite unhappy when CONFIG_KMOD
is not defined. Perhaps it should Kconfig select it?

and dm_crypt itself was a module?

If you disable modules, than why should one module enable it?

I don't remember to be honest. Is it important?

CONFIG_KMOD is not modules (that is CONFIG_MODULES), but module
autoloading.

It could be possible that dm_crypt is trying to use the crypto API
before it is initialized, but I doubt it.

Ach, you right. This problem has every user of try_then_request_module()
and I don't see anybody selecting CONFIG_KMOD in the kernel.

OK, I couldn't find anything bad from looking through the Kconfig.
What happens if you try to build it in again?

Good point. Yes we should do that.

Herbert,
how about Loc's question regarding "Linux NETKEY change to support
asynchronous Linux CryptoAPI"? I know that there are quite a few
people interested
in that.
Cheers,
Torsten
