Android userspace code to use ext4 encryption have been checked into the public AOSP branch. If all goes well, this feature will hopefully (my fingers are crossed, but obviously nothing is guaranteed at this point) be included in the 'M' release of Android. Currently all of the changes are in fs/ext4 but I've been talking to Jaegeuk about adopting the same same interfaces (which is essentially just two ioctl's to set the encryption policy and to get the per-file-system 'salt' for passwords) for f2fs. As a result, it may be that some of the functions in fs/ext4/crypto_*.c will end up getting refactored and moved into some fs/*.c so that f2fs can use it as well. But I'd like to get the basic feature into the kernel tree (marked as experimental initially) and then do more polishing from there. There is a design document here. It should hopefully be mostly up to date, but there are a few things that we might end up changing (for example, just using CTS all the time for protecting directory file names). https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IsyQ9DU1gA6NUqS0jF4ni_NTvv-b0HfCkRk47Zkd7W0 - Ted Michael Halcrow (13): ext4 crypto: export ext4_empty_dir() ext4 crypto: add encryption xattr support ext4 crypto: add encryption policy checking ext4 crypto: add ext4 encryption facilities ext4 crypto: add encryption key management facilities ext4 crypto: inherit encryption policies on inode and directory create ext4 crypto: implement the ext4 encryption write path ext4 crypto: implement the ext4 decryption read path ext4 crypto: filename encryption facilities ext4 crypto: insert encrypted filenames into a leaf directory block ext4 crypto: partial update to namei.c for fname crypto ext4 crypto: filename encryption modifications ext4 crypto: enable filename encryption Theodore Ts'o (9): ext4: add ext4_mpage_readpages() ext4: reserve codepoints used by the ext4 encryption feature ext4 crypto: add ext4 encryption Kconfig ext4 crypto: add ioctl to set encryption policy ext4 crypto: validate context consistency on lookup ext4: teach ext4_htree_store_dirent() to store decrypted filenames ext4 crypto: Add symlink encryption ext4 crypto: enable encryption feature flag ext4 crypto: add password salt support fs/ext4/Kconfig | 20 ++ fs/ext4/Makefile | 4 +- fs/ext4/crypto.c | 601 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/ext4/crypto_fname.c | 831 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/ext4/crypto_key.c | 170 ++++++++++ fs/ext4/crypto_policy.c | 186 +++++++++++ fs/ext4/dir.c | 98 +++++- fs/ext4/ext4.h | 153 ++++++++- fs/ext4/ext4_crypto.h | 140 ++++++++ fs/ext4/extents.c | 6 + fs/ext4/file.c | 22 +- fs/ext4/ialloc.c | 28 +- fs/ext4/inline.c | 17 +- fs/ext4/inode.c | 127 +++++++- fs/ext4/ioctl.c | 69 ++++ fs/ext4/namei.c | 567 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- fs/ext4/page-io.c | 46 ++- fs/ext4/readpage.c | 321 +++++++++++++++++++ fs/ext4/super.c | 31 +- fs/ext4/symlink.c | 104 +++++- fs/ext4/xattr.h | 3 + 21 files changed, 3431 insertions(+), 113 deletions(-) create mode 100644 fs/ext4/crypto.c create mode 100644 fs/ext4/crypto_fname.c create mode 100644 fs/ext4/crypto_key.c create mode 100644 fs/ext4/crypto_policy.c create mode 100644 fs/ext4/ext4_crypto.h create mode 100644 fs/ext4/readpage.c -- 2.3.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
