I thought this was discussed before, but the 'dentry' passed to ->d_hash() is
the parent dentry, not the one being hashed.

Therefore checking DCACHE_ENCRYPTED_NAME on 'dentry' is wrong here.  Instead we
need to use !fscrypt_has_encryption_key() here.  (IOW, while checking
DCACHE_ENCRYPTED_NAME is better *when possible*, it's not possible here.)

Note that the whole point of ->d_hash() is to hash the filename so that the VFS
can find the dentry.  If the VFS already had the dentry, there would be no need
for ->d_hash().

Also, did you consider my suggestion to not handle encrypt+casefold in this
patch?  I'd like to get this series in as a refactoring for 5.9.  The encryption
handling (which is new) might better belong in a later patch series.
