From 382684984e93039a3bbd83b04d341b0ceb831519 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Hansen Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:47:07 -0700 Subject: ecryptfs: improved dependency checking and reporting So, I compiled a 2.6.31-rc5 kernel with ecryptfs and loaded its module. When it came time to mount my filesystem, I got this in dmesg, and it refused to mount: [93577.776637] Unable to allocate crypto cipher with name [aes]; rc = [-2] [93577.783280] Error attempting to initialize key TFM cipher with name = [aes]; rc = [-2] [93577.791183] Error attempting to initialize cipher with name = [aes] and key size = [32]; rc = [-2] [93577.800113] Error parsing options; rc = [-22] I figured from the error message that I'd either forgotten to load "aes" or that my key size was bogus. Neither one of those was the case. In fact, I was missing the CRYPTO_ECB config option and the 'ecb' module. Unfortunately, there's no trace of 'ecb' in that error message. I've done two things to fix this. First, I've modified ecryptfs's Kconfig entry to select CRYPTO_ECB and CRYPTO_CBC. I also took CRYPTO out of the dependencies since the 'select' will take care of it for us. I've also modified the error messages to print a string that should contain both 'ecb' and 'aes' in my error case. That will give any future users a chance of finding the right modules and Kconfig options. I also wonder if we should: select CRYPTO_AES if !EMBEDDED since I think most ecryptfs users are using AES like me.
