We are going to track per-extent information, so it'll be necessary to
distinguish between inode infos and extent infos.  Rename fscrypt_info
to fscrypt_inode_info, adjusting any lines that now exceed 80

<title>fscrypt: support crypto data unit size less than filesystem block size</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5b11888471806edf699316d4dcb9b426caebbef2</id>
<content type='text'>
Until now, fscrypt has always used the filesystem block size as the
granularity of file contents encryption.  Two scenarios have come up
where a sub-block granularity of contents encryption would be useful:

1. Inline crypto hardware that only supports a crypto data unit size
   that is less than the filesystem block size.

2. Support for direct I/O at a granularity less than the filesystem
   block size, for example at the block device's logical block size in
   order to match the traditional direct I/O alignment requirement.

(1) first came up with older eMMC inline crypto hardware that only
supports a crypto data unit size of 512 bytes.  That specific case
ultimately went away because all systems with that hardware continued
using out of tree code and never actually upgraded to the upstream
inline crypto framework.  But, now it's coming back in a new way: some
current UFS controllers only support a data unit size of 4096 bytes, and
there is a proposal to increase the filesystem block size to 16K.

(2) was discussed as a "nice to have" feature, though not essential,
when support for direct I/O on encrypted files was being upstreamed.

Still, the fact that this feature has come up several times does suggest
it would be wise to have available.  Therefore, this patch implements it
by using one of the reserved bytes in fscrypt_policy_v2 to allow users
to select a sub-block data unit size.  Supported data unit sizes are
powers of 2 between 512 and the filesystem block size, inclusively.
Support is implemented for both the FS-layer and inline crypto cases.

This patch focuses on the basic support for sub-block data units.  Some
things are out of scope for this patch but may be addressed later:

- Supporting sub-block data units in combination with
  FSCRYPT_POLICY_FLAG_IV_INO_LBLK_64, in most cases.  Unfortunately this
  combination usually causes data unit indices to exceed 32 bits, and
  thus fscrypt_supported_policy() correctly disallows it.  The users who
  potentially need this combination are using f2fs.  To support it, f2fs
  would need to provide an option to slightly reduce its max file size.

- Supporting sub-block data units in combination with
  FSCRYPT_POLICY_FLAG_IV_INO_LBLK_32.  This has the same problem
  described above, but also it will need special code to make DUN
  wraparound still happen on a FS block boundary.

- Supporting use case (2) mentioned above.  The encrypted direct I/O
  code will need to stop requiring and assuming FS block alignment.
  This won't be hard, but it belongs in a separate patch.

- Supporting this feature on filesystems other than ext4 and f2fs.
  (Filesystems declare support for it via their fscrypt_operations.)
  On UBIFS, sub-block data units don't make sense because UBIFS encrypts
  variable-length blocks as a result of compression.  CephFS could
  support it, but a bit more work would be needed to make the
  fscrypt_*_block_inplace functions play nicely with sub-block data
  units.  I don't think there's a use case for this on CephFS anyway.

As per Linus's suggestion

use WARN_ON_ONCE instead of WARN_ON.  This barely adds any extra
overhead, and it makes it so that if any of these ever becomes reachable
(they shouldn't, but that's the point), the logs can't be flooded.

<content type='text'>
Try to make the filesystem-level decryption functions in fs/crypto/
aware of large folios.  This includes making fscrypt_decrypt_bio()
support the case where the bio contains large folios, and making
fscrypt_decrypt_pagecache_blocks() take a folio instead of a page.

There's no way to actually test this with large folios yet, but I've
tested that this doesn't cause any regressions.

Note that this patch just handles *decryption*, not encryption which
will be a little more difficult.

<content type='text'>
As a step towards freeing the PG_error flag for other uses, change ext4
and f2fs to stop using PG_error to track decryption errors.  Instead, if
a decryption error occurs, just mark the whole bio as failed.  The
coarser granularity isn't really a problem since it isn't any worse than
what the block layer provides, and errors from a multi-page readahead
aren't reported to applications unless a single-page read fails too.

<id>urn:sha1:5fee36095cda45d34555aed3a2e8973b80cd6bf8</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for inline encryption to fs/crypto/.  With "inline
encryption", the block layer handles the decryption/encryption as part
of the bio, instead of the filesystem doing the crypto itself via
Linux's crypto API. This model is needed in order to take advantage of
the inline encryption hardware present on most modern mobile SoCs.

To use inline encryption, the filesystem needs to be mounted with
'-o inlinecrypt'. Blk-crypto will then be used instead of the traditional
filesystem-layer crypto whenever possible to encrypt the contents
of any encrypted files in that filesystem. Fscrypt still provides the key
and IV to use, and the actual ciphertext on-disk is still the same;
therefore it's testable using the existing fscrypt ciphertext verification
tests.

Note that since blk-crypto has a fallback to Linux's crypto API, and
also supports all the encryption modes currently supported by fscrypt,
this feature is usable and testable even without actual inline
encryption hardware.

Per-filesystem changes will be needed to set encryption contexts when
submitting bios and to implement the 'inlinecrypt' mount option.  This
patch just adds the common code.
