In fs/crypto/ we're trying to use 'err' rather than 'ret' when a variable can
only be 0 or a negative errno value.  I.e.:

        union fscrypt_policy policy;
        int err;

        err = fscrypt_get_policy(inode, &policy);
        if (err)
                return err;

In kernel code normally an early return is used in cases like this.  I.e.:

	if (policy.version != FSCRYPT_POLICY_V2)
		return -EINVAL;

	return 0;

This needs to only return early on error.  Otherwise when people add checks for
more flags later, those checks will not be executed when the CASEFOLD flag is
enabled on an encrypted directory.

I.e.:

        if (IS_ENCRYPTED(inode) && (flags & ~oldflags & FS_CASEFOLD_FL)) {
                err = fscrypt_set_casefolding_allowed(inode);
                if (err)
                        return err;
        }

I'm also wondering if this is the right level of abstraction.
Maybe the API should be:

	err = fscrypt_ioc_setflags_prepare(inode, oldflags, flags);
	if (err)
		return err;

Then the VFS code will be "obvious", and the comment:

        /*
         * When a directory is encrypted, the CASEFOLD flag can only be turned
         * on if the fscrypt policy supports it.
         */

can be moved to the definition of fscrypt_ioc_setflags_prepare() in fs/crypto/.
