This commit message is still confusing.

How about the following:

"Wire up iomap direct I/O with the fscrypt additions for direct I/O.
This allows ext4 to support direct I/O on encrypted files when inline
encryption is enabled.

This change consists of two parts:

- Set a bio_crypt_ctx on bios for encrypted files, so that the file
  contents get encrypted (or decrypted).

- Ensure that encryption data unit numbers (DUNs) are contiguous within
  each bio.  Use the new function fscrypt_limit_io_pages() for this,
  since the iomap code works directly with logical ranges and thus
  doesn't have a chance to call fscrypt_mergeable_bio() on each page.

Note that fscrypt_limit_io_pages() is normally a no-op, as normally the
DUNs simply increment along with the logical blocks.  But it's needed to
handle an edge case in one of the fscrypt IV generation methods."

iomap_dio_zero() is only used on partial filesystem blocks.  But, we
only allow direct I/O on encrypted files when the I/O is
filesystem-block-aligned.

So this part appears to be unnecessary.

How about replacing it with:

	/* encrypted direct I/O is guaranteed to be fs-block aligned */
	WARN_ON_ONCE(fscrypt_needs_contents_encryption(inode));

I think the part at the end is wrong.

We want to limit the *next* bio, not the current one.

So 'pos' needs to be updated first.

I think it should be:

                iomap_dio_submit_bio(dio, iomap, bio, pos);
                pos += n;
                nr_pages = iov_iter_npages(dio->submit.iter, BIO_MAX_PAGES);
                nr_pages = fscrypt_limit_io_pages(inode, pos, nr_pages);
