dm crypt: add post iv call to iv generator
IV (initialisation vector) can in principle depend not only on sector but also on plaintext data (or other attributes). Change IV generator interface to work directly with dmreq structure to allow such dependence in generator. Also add post() function which is called after the crypto operation. This allows tricky modification of decrypted data or IV internals. In asynchronous mode the post() can be called after ctx->sector count was increased so it is needed to add iv_sector copy directly to dmreq structure. (N.B. dmreq always include only one sector in scatterlists) Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
