blk-crypto: handle the fallback above the block layer

2026-01-11T19:55:41+00:00

Add a blk_crypto_submit_bio helper that either submits the bio when it is not encrypted or inline encryption is provided, but otherwise handles the encryption before going down into the low-level driver. This reduces the risk from bio reordering and keeps memory allocation as high up in the stack as possible. Note that if the submitter knows that inline enctryption is known to be supported by the underyling driver, it can still use plain submit_bio.

fscrypt: keep multiple bios in flight in fscrypt_zeroout_range_inline_crypt

2026-01-11T19:55:41+00:00

This should slightly improve performance for large zeroing operations, but more importantly prepares for blk-crypto refactoring that requires all fscrypt users to call submit_bio directly. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

fscrypt: pass a real sector_t to fscrypt_zeroout_range_inline_crypt

2026-01-11T19:55:41+00:00

While the pblk argument to fscrypt_zeroout_range_inline_crypt is declared as a sector_t it actually is interpreted as a logical block size unit, which is highly unusual. Switch to passing the 512 byte units that sector_t is defined for. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

fscrypt: replace raw loads of info pointer with helper function

2025-08-21T11:58:06+00:00

Add and use a helper function fscrypt_get_inode_info_raw(). It loads an inode's fscrypt info pointer using a raw dereference, which is appropriate when the caller knows the key setup already happened. This eliminates most occurrences of inode::i_crypt_info in the source, in preparation for replacing that with a filesystem-specific field.

fscrypt: support crypto data unit size less than filesystem block size

2023-09-26T05:34:33+00:00

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. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230925055451.59499-6-ebiggers@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers
