Subject: Fixing userspace crypto in 3.14.x?
Date: Sat, 12 Mar 2016 16:26:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160313002654.GA3563@sigkill.com> (raw)


Userspace crypto has been broken in the 3.14 series since 3.14.61; see:

http://marc.info/?t=145571848500001&r=1&w=2

Specifically: 

http://marc.info/?l=linux-crypto-vger&m=145597880120294&w=2

and

http://marc.info/?l=linux-crypto-vger&m=145579378307060&w=2

I waited a few 3.14 maintenance releases to see if this would get fixed,
but as of 3.14.64, it remains broken.

Are there any plans plans to fix this? (For those of us with luks-encrypted
partitions, the 3.14 tree is now unusable past 3.14.60.)

thanks,
preed
