From: Dave Jiang dave.jiang@intel.com Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2019 10:34:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] libnvdimm: prevent nvdimm from requesting key when security is disabled
Current implementation attempts to request keys from the keyring even when security is not enabled. Change behavior so when security is disabled it will skip key request.
Error messages seen when no keys are installed and libnvdimm is loaded:
request-key[4598]: Cannot find command to construct key 661489677 request-key[4606]: Cannot find command to construct key 34713726
