Support for encoding is considered an incompatible feature, since it has potential to create collisions of file names in existing filesystems. If the feature flag is not enabled, the entire filesystem will operate on opaque byte sequences, respecting the original behavior. The s_encoding field stores a magic number indicating the encoding format and version used globally by file and directory names in the filesystem. The s_encoding_flags defines policies for using the charset encoding, like how to handle invalid sequences. The magic number is mapped to the exact charset table, but the mapping is specific to ext4. Since we don't have any commitment to support old encodings, the only encoding I am supporting right now is utf8-12.1.0. The current implementation prevents the user from enabling encoding and per-directory encryption on the same filesystem at the same time. The incompatibility between these features lies in how we do efficient directory searches when we cannot be sure the encryption of the user provided fname will match the actual hash stored in the disk without decrypting every directory entry, because of normalization cases. My quickest solution is to simply block the concurrent use of these features for now, and enable it later, once we have a better solution.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
