Loading key via kernel keyring service erases the internal
key copy immediately after we pass it in crypto layer. This is
wrong because IV is initialized later and we use wrong key
for the initialization (instead of real key there's just zeroed
block).
The bug may cause data corruption if key is loaded via kernel keyring
service first and later same crypt device is reactivated using exactly
same key in hexbyte representation, or vice versa. The bug (and fix)
affects only ciphers using following IVs: essiv, lmk and tcw.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
