Fix enabled for 2.4.26 and later 2.4 kernels. 2.6 kernels were not affected. - Added key scrubbing support for AES loop cipher. This feature is not enabled by default because it doubles storage space requirement for loop encryption keys. To enable, add KEYSCRUB=y parameter to loop module make command. (2.4 and 2.6 kernels only). - Added multi-key compatibility to losetup and mount -p option handling. - Fixed incompatibility with 2.6.8.1 kernel struct bio handling. - Small optimization to bio I/O barrier support. Also added support for queue->issue_flush_fn() I/O barrier calls. (2.6 kernels only). - Added workaround for kernel bug that causes I/O errors on -EWOULDBLOCK I/O elevator failures (2.6 kernels only). bzip2 compressed tarball is here: http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES/loop-AES-v2.2a.tar.bz2 md5sum ab10564704317b38b5c7f24e382acae3 http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES/loop-AES-v2.2a.tar.bz2.sign -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel-announce" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
