Here are two:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200619161752.GG32683@zn.tnic
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200619161026.GF32683@zn.tnic

but before that happens, I'd like to hear Dave confirm that when we
expose all that information to userspace, it will actually be true and
show the necessary bits which *actually* tell you that encryption is
enabled.

If you're still unclear, go over the thread again pls.

Thx.
