Hi Eric, fscrypt_valid_enc_modes() allows FS_ENCRYPTION_MODE_AES_128_CBC to be used for encryption of file's contents. This is consistent with what you had mentioned above. static inline bool fscrypt_valid_enc_modes(u32 contents_mode, u32 filenames_mode) { if (contents_mode == FS_ENCRYPTION_MODE_AES_128_CBC && filenames_mode == FS_ENCRYPTION_MODE_AES_128_CTS) return true; if (contents_mode == FS_ENCRYPTION_MODE_AES_256_XTS && filenames_mode == FS_ENCRYPTION_MODE_AES_256_CTS) return true; return false; } Hence FS_ENCRYPTION does need to have AES-128-CBC and by extension SHA256 code compiled in right? -- chandan
