Thanks for reviewing this.

Yes, it is AES-256-XTS.

Currently it is hardcoded to AES-256-XTS. It is copied from implementation
of PBKDF2 in e2fsprogs, which is hardcoded to useAES-256-XTS for ext4 encryption
in the kernel(pbkdf2_sha512() in e2fsprogs)

If user wants to use a different algorithm, then I think we need to
port the code from openssl, which is the full implementation of PBKDF2
for:

Ok, I'll send a refreshed version.

It's not a UAPI structure, and it is defined both in user space tool
and in kernel. Do you mean, I should put the defination of this
structure under include/uapi ?

Ok, will add error checking for it.

Yes, the length in both user space and kernel are hardcoded to AES-256-XTS.
I can add the support for other algorithm, but might need to port from
openssl first.

Ok, I will change it to hex form.
