blk_keyslot_manager is misnamed because it doesn't necessarily manage
keyslots. It actually does several different things:
- Contains the crypto capabilities of the device.
- Provides functions to control the inline encryption hardware.
Originally these were just for programming/evicting keyslots;
however, new functionality (hardware-wrapped keys) will require new
functions here which are unrelated to keyslots. Moreover,
device-mapper devices already (ab)use "keyslot_evict" to pass key
eviction requests to their underlying devices even though
device-mapper devices don't have any keyslots themselves (so it
really should be "evict_key", not "keyslot_evict").
- Sometimes (but not always!) it manages keyslots. Originally it
always did, but device-mapper devices don't have keyslots
themselves, so they use a "passthrough keyslot manager" which
doesn't actually manage keyslots. This hack works, but the
terminology is unnatural. Also, some hardware doesn't have keyslots
and thus also uses a "passthrough keyslot manager" (support for such
hardware is yet to be upstreamed, but it will happen eventually).
Let's stop having keyslot managers which don't actually manage keyslots.
Instead, rename blk_keyslot_manager to blk_crypto_profile.
This is a fairly big change, since for consistency it also has to update
keyslot manager-related function names, variable names, and comments --
not just the actual struct name. However it's still a fairly
straightforward change, as it doesn't change any actual functionality.
