Technically, cipher_str shouldn't be added until the patch that adds
blk-crypto-fallback.

I don't believe bio_crypt_key() is necessary -- see my comment below regarding
blk_mq_make_request().

next_dun should be const.

This comment is verbose but doesn't really explain what's going on.
I think it would be much more useful to add comments like:

/*
 * Returns true if @bc_dun plus @bytes converted to data units is equal to
 * @next_dun, treating the DUNs as multi-limb integers.
 */
bool bio_crypt_dun_is_contiguous(const struct bio_crypt_ctx *bc,
                                 unsigned int bytes,
				 const u64 next_dun[BLK_CRYPTO_DUN_ARRAY_SIZE])

And:


		/*
		 * If the addition in this limb overflowed, then the carry bit
		 * into the next limb is 1.  Else the carry bit is 0.
		 */
		inc = ((bc->bc_dun[i] + inc)  < inc);

This is new in v9; before it just returned true.

It would be more helpful if this comment was like:

	/* If the DUN wrapped through 0, don't treat it as contiguous. */

The comment of this function seems outdated.  All it does it get a keyslot, but
the comment talks about initializing "crypto fields" (plural).

The keyslot manager is really an implementation detail of the block layer.
Therefore when documenting functions like blk_crypto_evict_key() that are the
API for use by upper layers like filesystems, we shouldn't really talk about the
keyslot manager, but rather describe the behavior in higher-level terms like
"evict a key from the inline encryption hardware".

Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to do blk_crypto_init_request() after
blk_mq_bio_to_request() rather than before?

I.e., initialize request::crypt_ctx first, *then* get the keyslot.  Not the
other way around.

That would allow removing the second argument to blk_crypto_init_request() and
removing bio_crypt_key().  blk_crypto_init_request() would only need to take in
the struct request.

This comment update should be folded into the patch that added this.

Kerneldoc needs to be updated; bc_keyslot and bc_ksm no longer exist.
