This patch series is based on Eric�s work posted at: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
Eric�s patches introduce a new dm target, dm-inlinecrypt, to support inline block-device encryption. The implementation builds on the work previously done in Android�s dm-default-key, but intentionally drops passthrough support, as that functionality does not appear likely to be accepted upstream in the near future. With this limitation, dm-inlinecrypt is positioned as a practical replacement for dm-crypt, rather than a general passthrough mechanism. On top of Eric�s series, keyring key support is added in dm-inlinecrypt. Thus, both keyring key and hex key are feasible for dm-inlinecrypt. In addition, dm-inlinecrypt.rst is added as the user-guide of dm-inlinecrypt.
