linux: Enable support for Self-Encrypting Drives
To quote block/Kconfig:
> Builds Logic for interfacing with Opal enabled controllers.
> Enabling this option enables users to setup/unlock/lock
> Locking ranges for SED devices using the Opal protocol.
Without `BLK_SED_OPAL`, it is impossible to resume from sleep when using
a locked self-encrypting drive.
This configuration option appeared in earlier kernels, but only reached
maturity in 4.14 according to discussion at:
- Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil#90 and
- Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil#190
This kernel option is enabled in the default kernels shipped with
Fedora, Debian, and other mainstream Linux distributions.1 parent de2bb10 commit 0ea8c6e
