Introduce a flag S_ENCRYPTED which can be set in ->i_flags to indicate
that the inode is encrypted using the fscrypt (fs/crypto/) mechanism.
Checking this flag will give the same information that
inode->i_sb->s_cop->is_encrypted(inode) currently does, but will be more
efficient. This will be useful for adding higher-level helper functions
for filesystems to use. For example we'll be able to replace this:
if (ext4_encrypted_inode(inode)) {
ret = fscrypt_get_encryption_info(inode);
if (ret)
return ret;
if (!fscrypt_has_encryption_key(inode))
return -ENOKEY;
}
with this:
ret = fscrypt_require_key(inode);
if (ret)
return ret;
... since we'll be able to retain the fast path for unencrypted files as
a single flag check, using an inline function. This wasn't possible
before because we'd have had to frequently call through the
->i_sb->s_cop->is_encrypted function pointer, even when the encryption
support was disabled or not being used.
Note: we don't define S_ENCRYPTED to 0 if CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION is
disabled because we want to continue to return an error if an encrypted
file is accessed without encryption support, rather than pretending that
it is unencrypted.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
