Hi Dm-crypt maintainers, Recently, I was testing the dm-crypt, but I failed to create dm-crypt device when using AEAD type. I would really appreciate it if you could give some help. The error info is as follows: localhost:~ # export SIZE_INT=997376 8 J 0"ost:~ # dmsetup create integ1 --table "0 $SIZE_INT integrity /dev/sdd2 0 2 localhost:~ # dom \host:~ # dmsetup create crypt1 --table "0 $SIZE_INT crypt capi:gcm(aes)-ran > 11ff33c6fb942655efb3e30cf4c0fd95f5ef483afca72166c530ae26151dd83b \ > 0 /dev/mapper/integ1 0 1 integrity:28:aead" [ 1746.631559] device-mapper: crypt: Integrity AEAD, tag size 16, IV size 12. [ 1746.649796] device-mapper: crypt: INTEGRITY AEAD ERROR, sector 997248 [ 1746.656382] device-mapper: crypt: INTEGRITY AEAD ERROR, sector 997248 [ 1746.662826] Buffer I/O error on dev dm-3, logical block 124656, async page read I tested it both on qemu and hardware, and it printed the same error. The error seems always on the last several sectors within the SIZE_INT I designated. When I change the SIZE_INT, the error sector num also change. I think something went wrong in the software, not the hardware. My board don't have AEAD accelerator, so it uses the software implemented cipher. My kernel version is 4.17-rc3. The command is as follows: export SIZE_INT=997376 dmsetup create integ1 --table "0 $SIZE_INT integrity /dev/sdd2 0 28 J 0" dmsetup create crypt1 --table "0 $SIZE_INT crypt capi:gcm(aes)-random \ 11ff33c6fb942655efb3e30cf4c0fd95f5ef483afca72166c530ae26151dd83b \ 0 /dev/mapper/integ1 0 1 integrity:28:aead" This command comes from the commit information of the commit which introduce AEAD. (commit ef43aa38063a6b2b3c6618e28ab35794f4f1fe29 dm crypt: add cryptographic data integrity protection (authenticated encryption)) I only change 'aes-gcm-random' to 'capi:gcm(aes)-random' Really appreciate it if you could have a look at it, Thanks!
