using the kernel crypto API.
For a more detailed description of supported parameters see:
-http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/wiki/DMCrypt
+https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/wikis/DMCrypt
Parameters: <cipher> <key> <iv_offset> <device path> \
<offset> [<#opt_params> <opt_params>]
Otherwise #opt_params is the number of following arguments.
Example of optional parameters section:
- 2 allow_discards same_cpu_crypt
+ 3 allow_discards same_cpu_crypt submit_from_crypt_cpus
allow_discards
Block discard requests (a.k.a. TRIM) are passed through the crypt device.
The default is to use an unbound workqueue so that encryption work
is automatically balanced between available CPUs.
+submit_from_crypt_cpus
+ Disable offloading writes to a separate thread after encryption.
+ There are some situations where offloading write bios from the
+ encryption threads to a single thread degrades performance
+ significantly. The default is to offload write bios to the same
+ thread because it benefits CFQ to have writes submitted using the
+ same context.

===============
LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) is now the preferred way to set up disk
encryption with dm-crypt using the 'cryptsetup' utility, see
