This adds the rd.luks.key.max-tries parameter that specifies the number of times that dracut will prompt for a GPG password before falling back to passphrase decryption. Previously, the number of tries was hardcoded to be 3, but this parameter lets the user customize it. In particular, if rd.luks.key.max-tries is set to 0, dracut will re-prompt for the GPG password forever and will not try to fall back to a passphrase. If rd.luks.key.max-tries is not specified, the default value is 3.

Please squash your style change into your feature change. The style change is a modification of your feature change commit anyway, and so the separation is irrelevant. |
