The initial implementation of native LUKS support within Libvirt introduced a small issue when using a passphrase that is a multiple of 16 bytes in size. This is documented in the following bug and associated patch posted to the Libvirt development list: Unable to use LUKS passphrase that is exactly 16 bytes long https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1447297 [libvirt] [PATCH] Fix padding of encrypted data https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-May/msg00030.html This change introduces a known issue release note and logs an additional breadcrumb when we appear to hit this with pointers to the above.

The initial implementation of native LUKS decryption within Libvirt 2.2.0
|
|
had a `known issue`_ with the use of passphrases that were a multiple of 16
|
|
bytes in size. This was `resolved`_ in the upstream 3.3.0 release of
|
|
Libvirt and has been backported to various downstream distribution specific
|
|
versions.
|
|
|
|
A simple warning will reference the above if this issue is encountered by
|
|
Nova however operators of the environment will still need to update
|
|
Libvirt to a version where this issue has been fixed to resolve the issue.
