[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#714806: debian/README.keyctl: outdated documentation (single threaded kernel support)

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.6.1-1
Severity: minor

The  documentation in /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.keyctl consists a large
paragraph  about  how  to  work around the "single threaded" implementation of
dm-crypt in Linux.  However, that's not correct anymore as of 2.6.38, see [1],
patch  [2].   So  the  information  given in that file is wrong for Wheezy and
newer.

README.keyctl is equal in Wheezy, Jessy and Sid.


Cheers,

	Julius
