SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/3][RFC] Introduce the in-kernel hibernation encryption
Hi!

uswsusp was created so that this kind of stuff could be kept in
userspace. You get graphical progress bar (etc) too. As you already
have userspace component for key derivation, I see no advantages to
uswsusp.

If you have some, please explain.

Best regards,
