Hi Here I'm resending the dm-crypt support for per-sector NVMe metadata. I made some changes to the first patch as suggested by Jens Axboe. The first patch fixes a bug when splitting a bio with attached metadata. The second patch enables dm-crypt to use NVMe metadata for authenticated encryption. dm-crypt can run directly on NVMe without using dm-integrity. These patches increase write throughput twice, because there is no write to the dm-integrity journal. An example how to use it (so far, there is no support in the userspace cryptsetup tool): # nvme format /dev/nvme1 -n 1 -lbaf=4 # dmsetup create cr --table '0 1048576 crypt capi:authenc(hmac(sha256),cbc(aes))-essiv:sha256 01b11af6b55f76424fd53fb66667c301466b2eeaf0f39fd36d26e7fc4f52ade2de4228e996f5ae2fe817ce178e77079d28e4baaebffbcd3e16ae4f36ef217298 0 /dev/nvme1n1 0 2 integrity:32:aead sector_size:4096' Mikulas
