Subject: [PATCH 5.10 21/29] cryptoloop: add a deprecation warning
Date: Mon,  6 Sep 2021 14:55:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210906125450.494067284@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210906125449.756437409@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

[ Upstream commit 222013f9ac30b9cec44301daa8dbd0aae38abffb ]

Support for cryptoloop has been officially marked broken and deprecated
in favor of dm-crypt (which supports the same broken algorithms if
needed) in Linux 2.6.4 (released in March 2004), and support for it has
been entirely removed from losetup in util-linux 2.23 (released in April
2013).  Add a warning and a deprecation schedule.
