[dm-devel] [PATCH 3/3] dm-crypt: Implement eboiv - encrypted byte-offset initialization vector.

[Milan Broz]

Hi Herbert,

I have a question about the crypto_cipher API in dm-crypt:

We are apparently trying to deprecate cryto_cipher API (see the ESSIV patchset),
but I am not sure what API now should be used instead.

See the patch below - all we need is to one block encryption for IV.

This algorithm makes sense only for FDE (old compatible Bitlocker devices),
I really do not want this to be shared in some crypto module...

What API should I use here? Sync skcipher? Is the crypto_cipher API
really a problem in this case?

Thanks,
Milan
