OL 8.1 x86_64 UEK6, Adiantum kernel module missing?

RaiderOfTheLostSPARCApr 27 2020 — edited May 1 2020

Hi,

I want to encrypt my /home and your UEK blog entry got my attention:

Adiantum encryption mode: Adiantum is a changeable, length-preserving encryption mode designed for fast and secure disk encryption, especially on CPUs without dedicated crypto instructions.

https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/announcing-the-unbreakable-enterprise-kernel-release-6-for-oracle-linux

I can't figure out where it is though. There's no kernel module and there's nothing in /proc/crypto:

[root@localhost ~]# uname -a

Linux localhost.localdomain 5.4.17-2011.0.7.el8uek.x86_64 #2 SMP Mon Mar 16 20:47:59 PDT 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ql kernel-uek-5.4.17-2011.0.7.el8uek.x86_64 | grep -i adiantum

[root@localhost ~]# grep -i adiantum /proc/crypto

[root@localhost ~]# grep -i adiantum /boot/config-5.4.17-2011.0.7.el8uek.x86_64

# CONFIG_CRYPTO_ADIANTUM is not set

What am I missing?
