Hi Ted, I assumed you resolved the conflict with "fscrypt: use READ_ONCE() to
access ->i_crypt_info"?  The code in fscrypt_d_revalidate() should be:

        dir = dget_parent(dentry);
        err = fscrypt_get_encryption_info(d_inode(dir));
        valid = !fscrypt_has_encryption_key(d_inode(dir));
        dput(dir);
