[PATCH 0/4] sed-opal: keyrings, discovery, revert and key store

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Greg Joyce <gjoyce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The current TCG SED Opal implementation in the block
driver requires that authentication keys be provided
in an ioctl so that they can be presented to the
underlying SED Opal capable drive. Currently, the key
is typically entered by a user with an application
like sedutil or sedcli. While this process works, it
does not lend itself to automation like unlock by a udev
rule.

Extend the SED block driver so it can alternatively
obtain a key from a sed-opal kernel keyring. The SED
ioctls will indicate the source of the key, either
directly in the ioctl data or from the keyring.

Two new SED ioctls have also been added. These are:
  1) IOC_OPAL_REVERT_LSP to revert LSP state
  2) IOC_OPAL_DISCOVERY to discover drive capabilities/state

Also, for platforms that have a permanent key store, the
platform may provide unique platform dependent functions
to read/write variables. The SED block driver has been
modified to attempt to read a key from the platform key
store. If successful, the key value is saved in the kernel
sed-opal keyring. If the platform does not support a
permanent key store, the read will fail and a key will
not be added to the keyring.


Greg Joyce (4):
  block: sed-opal: Implement IOC_OPAL_DISCOVERY
  block: sed-opal: Implement IOC_OPAL_REVERT_LSP
  block: sed-opal: keyring support for SED Opal keys.
