Support "secretfile" as an option

Description
I just tried:
echo "[2001:16f8:10:2::c3c3:3f9b] name=admin,secretfile=/etc/ceph/secret rbd alpha" > /sys/class/rbd/add
That resulted in a kernel panic of the machine (latest master of the ceph-client).
I checked the source and found in linux/ceph/auth.h that only secret is supported ( struct ceph_auth_client ).
It would be useful to support secretfile, this prevents your key showing up in your bash history.

Yehuda, can you look at the crashing part?
secretfile won't work here, btw, since the kernel can't read files. To the item in bash history you just need to use a helper program of some sort. At some point we could make the rbd tool do some of this.
The crashing part is fixed with commit:95ce358e10a20b31ad98724bf323e707e2b6ce86.
- Status changed from New to Resolved
ok closing this one out. we should consider whether it makes sense in the future for the rbd (or some other) tool to help with the rbd dev setup (/sys/class/rbd).
- Project changed from 3 to Linux kernel client
