Subject: [PATCH 4.8 42/57] ext4: enforce online defrag restriction for encrypted files

4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Whitney <enwlinux@...il.com>

commit 14fbd4aa613bd5110556c281799ce36dc6f3ba97 upstream.

Online defragging of encrypted files is not currently implemented.
However, the move extent ioctl can still return successfully when
called.  For example, this occurs when xfstest ext4/020 is run on an
encrypted file system, resulting in a corrupted test file and a
corresponding test failure.

Until the proper functionality is implemented, fail the move extent
ioctl if either the original or donor file is encrypted.
