  1. To patch the kernel with loop-AES :
  2.  
  3. 1) copy (hard link) a recent kernel to a new location, and remove the files
  4.   "drivers/block/loop.c" and "include/linux/loop.h" before patching.
  5.  
  6.    # cp -al linux-2.4.27 linux-2.4.27-loop-AES-v2.1c
  7.    # rm -vf linux-2.4.27-loop-AES-v2.1c/{drivers/block/loop.c,include/linux/loop.h}
  8.  
  9. 2) download the most recent version from the master site :
  10.  
  11.    http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES-latest.tar.bz2
  12.  
  13. 3) download potential updates from the same site, eg :
  14.  
  15.    http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/updates/loop-AES-v2.1c-20040813.diff.bz2
  16.  
  17. 4) extract the package into a temporary directory. Let's say it will create
  18.   loop-AES-v2.1c. Check that a recent kernel patch is provided (eg:
  19.   kernel-2.4.27-rc3.diff). Then check if the update patch touches this file
  20.   or not. If it only touches loop.c-2.4.patched (most likely), it might be
  21.   interesting to check whether the kernel's loop.c will have to be patched
  22.    or not (probably by hand).
  23.  
  24.  
  25.    # tar jxf loop-AES-v2.1c.tar.bz2
  26.    # bzcat loop-AES-v2.1c-20040813.diff.bz2 | grep ^+++
  27.      +++ loop.c-2.4.patched  Tue Aug 10 17:27:18 2004
  28.  
  29.    # cd linux-2.4.27-loop-AES-v2.1c
  30.    # patch -p1 < ../loop-AES-v2.1c/kernel-2.4.27-rc3.diff
  31.  
  32.    apply a few fixes according to the update
  33.    # vi drivers/block/loop.c
  34.  
  35.    # make distclean
  36.  
  37. 5) diff the two kernel trees to rebuild the patch, then remove the directories.
