How does blksnap interact with blk-crypto?
I.e., what happens if a bio with a ->bi_crypt_context set is submitted to a
block device that has blksnap active?
If you are unfamiliar with blk-crypto, please read
Documentation/block/inline-encryption.rst
It looks like blksnap hooks into the block layer directly, via the new
"blkfilter" mechanism. I'm concerned that it might ignore ->bi_crypt_context
and write data to the disk in plaintext, when it is supposed to be encrypted.
