Subject: [PATCH v5 07/13] fs: remove inode::i_crypt_info
Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2025 00:57:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250810075706.172910-8-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250810075706.172910-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>

Now that all fscrypt-capable filesystems store the pointer to
fscrypt_inode_info in the filesystem-specific part of the inode
structure, inode::i_crypt_info is no longer needed.  Update
fscrypt_inode_info_addr() to no longer support the fallback to
inode::i_crypt_info.  Finally, remove inode::i_crypt_info itself along
with the now-unnecessary forward declaration of fscrypt_inode_info.

The end result of the migration to the filesystem-specific pointer is
memory savings on CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION=y kernels for all filesystems
that don't support fscrypt.  Specifically, their in-memory inodes are
now smaller by the size of a pointer: either 4 or 8 bytes.
