The dm-crypt cipher specification in a mapping table is defined as: cipher[:keycount]-chainmode-ivmode[:ivopts] or (new crypt API format): capi:cipher_api_spec-ivmode[:ivopts] For ESSIV, the parameter includes hash specification, for example: aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 The implementation expected that additional IV option to never include another dash '-' character. But, with SHA3, there are names like sha3-256; so the mapping table parser fails: dmsetup create test --table "0 8 crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha3-256 9c1185a5c5e9fc54612808977ee8f5b9e 0 /dev/sdb 0" or (new crypt API format) dmsetup create test --table "0 8 crypt capi:cbc(aes)-essiv:sha3-256 9c1185a5c5e9fc54612808977ee8f5b9e 0 /dev/sdb 0" device-mapper: crypt: Ignoring unexpected additional cipher options device-mapper: table: 253:0: crypt: Error creating IV device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table Fix the dm-crypt constructor to ignore additional dash in IV options and also remove a bogus warning (that is ignored anyway).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
