block: Keyslot Manager for Inline Encryption
Inline Encryption hardware allows software to specify an encryption context (an encryption key, crypto algorithm, data unit num, data unit size) along with a data transfer request to a storage device, and the inline encryption hardware will use that context to en/decrypt the data. The inline encryption hardware is part of the storage device, and it conceptually sits on the data path between system memory and the storage device. Inline Encryption hardware implementations often function around the concept of "keyslots". These implementations often have a limited number of "keyslots", each of which can hold a key (we say that a key can be "programmed" into a keyslot). Requests made to the storage device may have a keyslot and a data unit number associated with them, and the inline encryption hardware will en/decrypt the data in the requests using the key programmed into that associated keyslot and the data unit number specified with the request. As keyslots are limited, and programming keys may be expensive in many implementations, and multiple requests may use exactly the same encryption contexts, we introduce a Keyslot Manager to efficiently manage keyslots. We also introduce a blk_crypto_key, which will represent the key that's programmed into keyslots managed by keyslot managers. The keyslot manager also functions as the interface that upper layers will use to program keys into inline encryption hardware. For more information on the Keyslot Manager, refer to documentation found in block/keyslot-manager.c and linux/keyslot-manager.h.
