Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2019 18:55:41 +0530 From: Chandan Rajendra <chandan@...ux.ibm.com> To: linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org, linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, linux-fscrypt@...r.kernel.org Cc: Chandan Rajendra <chandan@...ux.ibm.com>, tytso@....edu, adilger.kernel@...ger.ca, ebiggers@...nel.org, hch@...radead.org, chandanrlinux@...il.com Subject: [PATCH V5 6/7] ext4: Enable encryption for subpage-sized blocks Now that we have the code to support encryption for subpage-sized blocks, this commit removes the conditional check in filesystem mount code. The commit also changes the support statement in Documentation/filesystems/fscrypt.rst to reflect the fact that encryption of filesystems with blocksize less than page size now works.
