[PATCH] Support for secure erase functionality

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

 



This patch adds a software based secure erase option to improve data
confidentiality. The CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SECURE_ERASE option enables a mount
flag called 'sw_secure_erase'. When you mount a volume with this flag,
every discard call is prepended by an explicit write command to overwrite
the data before it is discarded. A volume without a discard compatibility
can be used as well but the discard calls will be enabled for this device
and suppressed after the write call is made.

Built against torvalds/linux
