Description Sven E. 2014-09-13 03:28:12 UTC

When the kernel backend is used, the current tests do not meat the minimum requirements.

In particular: CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1/SHA256 is needed (for backend checks), CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API, CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH and CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER are needed for the kernel backend (skcipher just lately). For LUKS CONFIG_CRYPTO_HMAC is needed (for key derivation.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
n/a
Actual Results:  
Necessary checks for kernel backend are currently omitted.

Expected Results:  
A more thoroughly set of tests to ensure requirements are met.

the unittests should just mark themselves as SKIP when the kernel features are unavailable

Comment 2 Martin Filo 2016-01-10 16:29:30 UTC

I can confirm that all cryptsetup versions which are in portage now, crashing without CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH enabled in kernel with message "Cannot initialize crypto backend". This has not been required in older versions.
