This is a large update to fs/crypto/ which includes:
- Add ioctls that add/remove encryption keys to/from a filesystem-level
keyring. These fix user-reported issues where e.g. an encrypted home
directory can break NetworkManager, sshd, Docker, etc. because they
don't get access to the needed keyring. These ioctls also provide a
way to lock encrypted directories that doesn't use the vm.drop_caches
sysctl, so is faster, more reliable, and doesn't always need root.
- Add a new encryption policy version ("v2") which switches to a more
standard, secure, and flexible key derivation function, and starts
verifying that the correct key was supplied before using it. The key
derivation improvement is needed for its own sake as well as for
ongoing feature work for which the current way is too inflexible.
Work is in progress to update both Android and the 'fscrypt' userspace
tool to use both these features. (Working patches are available and
just need to be reviewed+merged.) Chrome OS will likely use them too.
This has also been tested on ext4, f2fs, and ubifs with xfstests -- both
the existing encryption tests, and the new tests for this. This has
also been in linux-next since Aug 16 with no reported issues. I'm also
using an fscrypt v2-encrypted home directory on my personal desktop.
