FYI, the patchset
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ext4/20220501050857.538984-1-ebiggers@kernel.org
I just sent out cleans up how the test_dummy_encryption mount option is handled.
It would supersede patches 1, 3, 5, and 6 of this series (since those all only
deal with test_dummy_encryption-related code).

To avoid conflicting changes, maybe you should just focus on your patches 2 and
4 for now, along with possibly FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_PWSALT as I mentioned?
There shouldn't be any overlap that way.
