I don't think it's a module problem. That code is not very helpful due
to _NOT_ showing the error number so it's hard to decode what actually
fails.
I put this on my todo list, but TBH it's low on my radar. If you are
interested then try to capture the failure with the function
tracer. Put a tracing_off() call into the failure code path, i.e.:
ret = crypt_alloc_tfms(cc, cipher_api);
if (ret < 0) {
+ tracing_off();
ti->error = "Error allocating crypto tfm";
goto bad;
}
Enable the function tracer before doing the cryptsetup invocation and
after that read out the trace, compress it and put it somewhere to
download or send it to me in private mail if you don't have a place to
put it.
I can decode the trace, but I don't have the capacity at the moment to
setup all the necessary stuff here and do the debugging myself.
Thanks,
