Re: [PATCH v5 0/7] eCryptfs: added support for the encrypted key type

[lkml]

Hi there, 


Either this is completely braindead, or I'm missing something very obvious. 
Why mess up encrypted keys with various "format" fixes. 
I hope this doesn't start a trend. 

The right (and disturbingly simpler) approach to fixing the auth_token vs. 
raw key material issue would be to put the fix in eCryptfs. 

In fact, all the relevant bits for filling the token from the key_desc/sig should be moved 
from security/keys/encrypted/ecryptfs_format.c to fs/ecryptfs/ecryptfs_kernel.h, 
and all the format cruft in encrypted-keys reverted. 
Then pretty much any "default" encrypted key could be used for ecryptfsâ 

What am I missing?
