Kees Cook 290502bee2 eCryptfs: allow userspace messaging to be disabled
When the userspace messaging (for the less common case of userspace key
wrap/unwrap via ecryptfsd) is not needed, allow eCryptfs to build with
it removed. This saves on kernel code size and reduces potential attack
surface by removing the /dev/ecryptfs node.

help
Encrypted filesystem that operates on the VFS layer. See
<file:Documentation/filesystems/ecryptfs.txt> to learn more about
eCryptfs. Userspace components are required and can be
obtained from <http://ecryptfs.sf.net>.
To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called ecryptfs.
config ECRYPT_FS_MESSAGING
bool "Enable notifications for userspace key wrap/unwrap"
depends on ECRYPT_FS
help
Enables the /dev/ecryptfs entry for use by ecryptfsd. This allows
for userspace to wrap/unwrap file encryption keys by other
backends, like OpenSSL.
