s390: Add support for pervasive encryption using zkey - #1206
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The s390 plugin adds PAES support and zkey APIs for secure-key generation, listing, removal, and cryptsetup operations. The crypto plugin adds an API to format LUKS with a supplied volume key. Both changes include public declarations, documentation, and tests.
Changes: s390 PAES zkey support
Layer / File(s)
Summary
PAES and zkey API contracts src/lib/plugin_apis/s390.api, src/plugins/s390.h
The API adds PAES enums, a zkey error code, BDS390ZkeyInfo, copy/free helpers, and zkey management declarations.
zkey command integration src/plugins/s390.c
The plugin registers zkey and zkey-cryptsetup, checks PAES availability, runs zkey operations, parses multi-line key listings, and manages BDS390ZkeyInfo values.
Documentation and test coverage docs/libblockdev-sections.txt, tests/s390_test.py, tests/fake_utils/*, tests/utils.py, tests/Makefile.am, misc/libblockdev-tasks.yml
The symbol list includes the new API. Tests cover multiple keys, APQNs, volumes, and missing utilities. Test setup registers the s390 plugin and installs s390utils on supported systems.
LUKS formatting with a supplied volume key
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Volume-key formatting contract and implementation src/lib/plugin_apis/crypto.api, src/plugins/crypto.c, src/plugins/crypto.h
The new API formats LUKS with supplied key data. It validates the volume-key context and key size; a zero key_size uses the supplied key’s length.
Public bindings and validation src/python/gi/overrides/BlockDev.py, docs/libblockdev-sections.txt, tests/crypto_test.py
The Python override and documentation expose the API. The test checks invalid contexts and sizes, then compares the formatted header key with the supplied bytes.
The supplied-volume-key API has two bounded sizing defects: automatic sizing can reject a valid key, and explicit sizes can be silently rounded down. Explicit byte-aligned sizes provide a workaround. Correct these behaviors before relying on the new API broadly; the previous s390 documentation and include concerns are resolved.

bd_s390_zkey_cryptsetup_setvp and bd_s390_zkey_cryptsetup_validate, and document
that it contains the LUKS passphrase consumed by zkey-cryptsetup --key-file

DEPS_ZKEY_CRYPTSETUP_MASK, since bd_s390_zkey_cryptsetup_setvp and
bd_s390_zkey_cryptsetup_validate depend on zkey-cryptsetup. Update the
availability check using the appropriate dependency category or combined mask so
PAES is not reported available when that utility is missing.
- Around line 1253-1258: Update the parsing loop around the colon check and
BDS390ZkeyInfo.apqns handling so indented APQN continuation lines without a
colon are recognized and appended to the current record’s APQNs. Continue
ignoring separators, blank lines, and unrelated continuation lines, while
preserving the existing first-APQN parsing behavior.

Add a new 'paes' technology and 'zkey' runtime dependency to the s390
plugin, along with new functions for managing secure keys:
- bd_s390_zkey_generate() generates a new XTS/LUKS2 secure key in the
secure key repository
- bd_s390_zkey_list() lists the secure keys in the repository (all keys
or a single one by name), returning the parsed information in the new
BDS390ZkeyInfo boxed struct
- bd_s390_zkey_remove() removes a secure key from the repository

Add two new functions wrapping the 'zkey-cryptsetup' utility for working
with the pervasive encryption setup of an existing LUKS2 volume:
- bd_s390_zkey_cryptsetup_setvp() sets the verification pattern of a
secure key in the LUKS2 metadata of a device
- bd_s390_zkey_cryptsetup_validate() validates that a LUKS2 device is
correctly set up for pervasive encryption with a given secure key
Both add 'zkey-cryptsetup' as a new runtime dependency of the s390
plugin.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The 'zkey list' output prints multi-value fields (Volumes, APQNs) with the
first item next to the label and any further items on continuation lines
indented to the value column. The parser discarded lines without a colon and
split values on commas, so only the first APQN/volume was ever captured (and
comma splitting never matched the real output at all).
Detect continuation lines by indentation instead of the absence of a colon --
a volume is formatted as "volume:dmname" and thus contains a colon on its
continuation lines -- and accumulate the items into the resulting array.
Add fake_utils-based tests covering multiple keys, multiple APQNs and multiple
volumes.

…ven volume key
Add a new LUKS format function that uses a caller-supplied volume (master)
key instead of letting cryptsetup generate a random one. The volume key is
passed as a 'volume key' keyslot context and used for crypt_format(); the
provided passphrase/key file context is still used for the key slot.
This is needed for pervasive encryption on IBM Z, where the LUKS2 volume key
is a secure key token generated by the 'zkey' utility and the cipher is
'paes-xts-plain64', but the mechanism is cipher-agnostic.

Wipe key bytes in the boxed keyslot context free function.
bd_crypto_keyslot_context_free frees passphrase and volume key buffers with g_free only. The plugin version in src/plugins/crypto.c calls explicit_bzero on the same buffers first. The GObject boxed type uses this copy, so released LUKS volume keys can stay in heap memory. Call explicit_bzero on the passphrase and volume key buffers before g_free, as crypto.c does.

behavior in crypto.c.
Cover the LUKS1 and LUKS2-with-extra-options paths in the dumped-key check.
The new test checks the dumped volume key only for LUKS2 with None as the extra-options argument. The LUKS1 path and the LUKS2 path with non-NULL extra options pass the supplied key to crypt_format through separate calls. A regression that stops passing the key on either path would not fail this test. Add the same luksDump --dump-volume-key comparison for LUKS1 and for LUKS2 with extra options.

Extend the volume-key formatting test around crypto_luks_format_volume_key to
verify the dumped key matches the supplied key for both LUKS1 and LUKS2 with
non-NULL extra options, alongside the existing LUKS2-with-None case.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
The new entry point forwards a NULL volume_key without rejecting it. The shared formatter then uses its existing NULL-key path, which requests a randomly generated key despite this API promising a supplied volume key.
The call can succeed with a different master key from the one the caller intended to supply.
This can occur when: A caller omits volume_key, as the Python override permits, while supplying a valid keyslot context and writable device.

- Around line 1060-1061: Reject non-byte-aligned key sizes when a volume key is
provided. In the key-size handling path before converting bits to bytes,
validate key_size % 8 and return the existing invalid-parameters error using the
established cleanup and error-propagation flow; preserve behavior for aligned
sizes and calls without a volume key.
- Around line 1352-1353: Update _crypto_luks_format to validate that context is
non-NULL and has a supported type before calling crypt_init or formatting the
device. Return the existing invalid-context error for either condition,
preserving the function’s established error-reporting and cleanup conventions.
Review comments at @tests/crypto_test.py:
- Around line 291-295: Update the key-size handling used by
crypto_luks_format_volume_key so a zero key_size uses the supplied volume key’s
length rather than the cipher default. Extend the test around this call with a
32-byte volume key and verify the formatted volume’s stored key, preserving the
existing 64-byte case.
