Thank you, Ted.

It'd be better to fix the below basic warnings tho.

# ./scripts/checkpatch.pl [patch]

WARNING: line over 80 characters
#147: FILE: fs/crypto/policy.c:120:
+			ret = create_encryption_context_from_policy(inode, policy);

WARNING: line over 80 characters
#148: FILE: fs/crypto/policy.c:121:
+	} else if (!is_encryption_context_consistent_with_policy(inode, policy)) {

	WARNING: Prefer [subsystem eg: netdev]_warn([subsystem]dev, ... then dev_warn(dev, ... then pr_warn(...  to printk(KERN_WARNING ...
#149: FILE: fs/crypto/policy.c:122:
+		printk(KERN_WARNING

total: 0 errors, 3 warnings, 107 lines checked

Thanks,
