Harald Freudenberger f05f7d656b zcryptctl: new tool zcryptctl for multiple zcrypt node management
With the latest kernel comes an extension for the zcrypt
device driver to support multiple zcrypt device nodes.

Here is the userspace part of this which adds a new
application zcryptctl for user friendly management of
this feature.

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B zcryptctl
command displays information and maintains the multi device node
extension for the zcrypt device driver.
.P
With the multi device node extension you can create and configure
additional zcrypt device nodes which can be used as alternate device
nodes to access the crypto hardware provided by the zcrypt device
driver. Each zcrypt device node can be restricted in terms of crypto
cards, domains, and available ioctls. Such a device node can be used
as a base for container solutions like Docker to control and restrict
the access to crypto resources.
.SH COMMANDS
.TP 8
.B zcryptctl list
Show all the additional device nodes that are currently active.
.TP
.B zcryptctl create
.R [
.I node-name
.R ]
Create a new zcrypt device node. The \fInode-name\fP might be given
and needs to be unique and not in use. If there is no node name
provided, the zcrypt device driver will create a new one with pattern
zcrypt_\fIx\fP, with \fIx\fP being the next free number. Up to 256
additional device nodes can be created. The newly created additional
device node appears in /dev and has read and write permissions enabled
only for root. By default all adapters, domains and ioctls are
initially disabled on this new device node.
.TP
.B zcryptctl destroy
.I node-name
Destroy an additional zcrypt device node. The device node is only
marked for disposal and destroyed when it is no longer used.
.TP
.B zcryptctl addap
.R |
.B delap
.I node-name adapter-nr
Update the filter for the specified zcrypt device node and add or
delete a crypto adapter to be accessible via this node. The symbol
\fBALL\fP can be used to enable or disable all adapters.
.TP
.B zcryptctl adddom
.R |
.B deldom
.I node-name domain-nr
Update the filter for the specified zcrypt device node and add or
delete a domain to be accessible through this node. The symbol
\fBALL\fP can be used to enable or disable all domains.
.TP
.B zcryptctl addioctl
.R |
.B delioctl
.I node-name ioctl-term
Update the filter for the specified zcrypt device node and add or
delete an ioctl. The ioctl might be specified as symbolic string (one
of \fBICARSAMODEXPO\fP, \fBICARSACRT\fP, \fBZSECSENDCPRB\fP,
\fBZSENDEP11CPRB\fP, \fBZCRYPT_DEVICE_STATUS\fP,
\fBZCRYPT_STATUS_MASK\fP, \fBZCRYPT_QDEPTH_MASK\fP,
\fBZCRYPT_PERDEV_REQCNT\fP) or numeric value in the range 0-255 and
the symbol \fBALL\fP can be used to include all ioctls.
.TP
.B zcryptctl config
.I config-file
Process a config file. The given configuration file is read line by
line and the settings are applied. Syntax is simple:
.RS
.IP "node=<node-name>"
.IP "aps=<list of ap numbers separated by space, tab or ','>"
.IP "doms=<list of domain numbers separated by space, tab or ','>"
.IP "ioctls=<list of ioctl as numeric or symbolic number separated by space, tab or ','>"
.LP
Empty lines are ignored and the '#' marks the rest of the
line as comment.
.LP
The \fBnode=\fP line creates a new zcrypt device node, the \fBaps=\fP,
\fBdoms=\fP and \fBioctls=\fP lines customize the previously created
node. The symbol \fBALL\fP is also recognized for aps, doms, and
ioctls.
.LP
Each action must fit into one line, spreading over multiple lines is
not supported. But you can use more than one \fBaps=\fP, \fBdoms=\fP
and \fBioctls=\fP lines to customize the very same node.
.LP
Processing stops when a line cannot be parsed or the current action
fails. In this case the exit status is non zero but the successful
actions until the failure occurs are not rolled back.
.RE
.TP
.B zcryptctl listconfig
List the current configuration in a form suitable for input to the
\fBzcryptctl config\fP command.
.LP
.SH EXIT STATUS
On successful completion of the command the exit status is 0. A non
zero return code (and some kind of failure message) is emitted if the
processing could not complete successful.
