The device mapper may map over devices that have inline encryption capabilities, and to make use of those capabilities, the DM device must itself advertise those inline encryption capabilities. One way to do this would be to have the DM device set up a keyslot manager with a "sufficiently large" number of keyslots, but that would use a lot of memory. Also, the DM device itself has no "keyslots", and it doesn't make much sense to talk about "programming a key into a DM device's keyslot manager", so all that extra memory used to represent those keyslots is just wasted. All a DM device really needs to be able to do is advertise the crypto capabilities of the underlying devices in a coherent manner and expose a way to evict keys from the underlying devices. There are also devices with inline encryption hardware that do not have a limited number of keyslots. One can send a raw encryption key along with a bio to these devices (as opposed to typical inline encryption hardware that require users to first program a raw encryption key into a keyslot, and send the index of that keyslot along with the bio). These devices also only need the same things from the keyslot manager that DM devices need - a way to advertise crypto capabilities and potentially a way to expose a function to evict keys from hardware. So we introduce a "passthrough" keyslot manager that provides a way to represent a keyslot manager that doesn't have just a limited number of keyslots, and for which do not require keys to be programmed into keyslots. DM devices can set up a passthrough keyslot manager in their request queues, and advertise appropriate crypto capabilities based on those of the underlying devices. Blk-crypto does not attempt to program keys into any keyslots in the passthrough keyslot manager. Instead, if/when the bio is resubmitted to the underlying device, blk-crypto will try to program the key into the underlying device's keyslot manager.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
