2023-03-16blk-crypto: remove blk_crypto_insert_cloned_request()Eric Biggers1-2/+1
blk_crypto_insert_cloned_request() is the same as blk_crypto_rq_get_keyslot(), so just use that directly.

2022-11-21blk-crypto: don't use struct request_queue for public interfacesChristoph Hellwig1-6/+6
Switch all public blk-crypto interfaces to use struct block_device arguments to specify the device they operate on instead of th request_queue, which is a block layer implementation detail.

2021-10-21blk-crypto: update inline encryption documentationEric Biggers1-206/+245
Rework most of inline-encryption.rst to be easier to follow, to correct some information, to add some important details and remove some unimportant details, and to take into account the renaming from blk_keyslot_manager to blk_crypto_profile.

2021-09-21fscrypt: improve documentation for inline encryptionEric Biggers1-0/+2
Currently the fscrypt inline encryption support is documented in the "Implementation details" section, and it doesn't go into much detail. It's really more than just an "implementation detail" though, as there is a user-facing mount option. Also, hardware-wrapped key support (an upcoming feature) will depend on inline encryption and will affect the on-disk format; by definition that's not just an implementation detail. Therefore, move this documentation into its own section and expand it. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210916174928.65529-4-ebiggers@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
2021-02-01block/keyslot-manager: introduce devm_blk_ksm_init()Eric Biggers1-6/+6
Add a resource-managed variant of blk_ksm_init() so that drivers don't have to worry about calling blk_ksm_destroy(). Note that the implementation uses a custom devres action to call blk_ksm_destroy() rather than switching the two allocations to be directly devres-managed, e.g. with devm_kmalloc(). This is because we need to keep zeroing the memory containing the keyslots when it is freed, and also because we want to continue using kvmalloc() (and there is no devm_kvmalloc()).

2020-10-15docs: get rid of :c:type explicit declarations for structsMauro Carvalho Chehab1-4/+4
The :c:type:`foo` only works properly with structs before Sphinx 3.x. On Sphinx 3.x, structs should now be declared using the .. c:struct, and referenced via :c:struct tag. As we now have the automarkup.py macro, that automatically convert: struct foo into cross-references, let's get rid of that, solving several warnings when building docs with Sphinx 3.x.

2020-05-14Documentation: Document the blk-crypto frameworkSatya Tangirala1-0/+263
The blk-crypto framework adds support for inline encryption. There are numerous changes throughout the storage stack. This patch documents the main design choices in the block layer, the API presented to users of the block layer (like fscrypt or layered devices) and the API presented to drivers for adding support for inline encryption.
