The Linux Process Journey — “dmcrypt_write”
Overall, “dm-crypt” is a device-mapper target (https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.5-rc3/source/drivers/md/dm-crypt.c#L3689) supported from kernel version 2.6.4 (https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v2.6.4/source/drivers/md/dm-crypt.c). It is responsible for transparent (aka real-time/on-the-fly encryption) block device encryption while using the kernel crypto API (https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/wikis/DMCrypt) .
