The HKDF addition is used to replace the implementation in the filesystem crypto extension. This code was tested by using an EXT4 encrypted file system that was created and contains files written to by the current implementation. Using the new implementation a successful read of the existing files was possible and new files / directories were created and read successfully. These newly added file system objects could be successfully read using the current code. Yet if there is a test suite to validate whether the invokcation of the HKDF calculates the same result as the existing implementation, I would be happy to validate the implementation accordingly.See https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/fscrypt.html#tests for how to run the fscrypt tests. 'kvm-xfstests -c ext4 generic/582' should be enough for this, though you could run all the tests if you want.I ran the $(kvm-xfstests -c encrypt -g auto) on 5.11-rc2 with and without my HKDF changes. I.e. the testing shows the same results for both kernels which seems to imply that my HKDF changes do not change the behavior. I get the following errors in both occasions - let me know if I should dig a bit more.The command you ran runs almost all xfstests with the test_dummy_encryption mount option enabled, which is different from running the encryption tests -- and in fact it skips the real encryption tests, so it doesn't test the correctness of HKDF at all. It looks like you saw some unrelated test failures. Sorry if I wasn't clear -- by "all tests" I meant all encryption tests, i.e. 'kvm-xfstests -c ext4 -g encrypt'. Also, even the single test generic/582 should be sufficient to test HKDF, as I mentioned.
I just did it myself and the tests pass. - Eric
