[PATCH v2] e4crypt: if salt is explicitly provided to add_key, then use it

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

 



Providing -S and a path to 'add_key' previously exhibit an unintuitive
behavior: instead of using the salt explicitly provided by the user,
e4crypt would use the salt obtained via EXT4_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_PWSALT
on the path. This was because set_policy() was still called with NULL
as salt.

With this change we now remember the explicitly provided salt (if any)
and use it as argument for set_policy().

Eventually

e4crypt add_key -S s:my-spicy-salt /foo

will now actually use 'my-spicy-salt' and not something else as salt
for the policy set on /foo.

Notes:
    - Clarify -S description in man page.
    - Do not store a reference to salt_list entry, as it
      could be reallocated causing a use-after-free.
    - Only parse the salts of the path arguments if no
      salt was explicitly specified.
