Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 01/43] fscrypt: add per-extent encryption support
Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2026 14:11:53 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260221221153.GA2123@quark> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260206182336.1397715-2-neelx@suse.com>

I lost all my original comments on this patch due to a computer crash,
so apologies if this sounds a bit rushed.  (I should know better than to
run the latest mainline kernel.  Would be nice if kernel developers
focused on quality over new features...)

Above comment should document that this is used only when the filesystem
uses per-extent encryption

first_lblk probably should be 'pos' to match Christoph's pending patches
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fscrypt/20260218061531.3318130-1-hch@lst.de).
Either way, it also needs to be correctly documented to be an offset
into the extent, not the file.

Above comment was copy-pasted and is misleading in its new context.
This function assigns the encryption context unconditionally.

Likewise, copy-pasted comment that is misleading in the new context.
It should refer to fscrypt_mergeable_extent_bio().

Above needs to calculate the DUN correctly when the data unit size is
less than the file logical block size, or else the combination of
sub-block data units and per-extent encryption needs to be explicitly
not supported.  Probably just the latter for now (it can be enforced by
fscrypt_supported_v2_policy()).

Similar to fscrypt_set_bio_crypt_ctx_from_extent().  The copy-pasted
comment needs to be updated to remove no-longer-relevant information
specific to per-file encryption and correctly reflect per-extent
encryption.  The DUN needs to be calculated correctly for sub-block data
units or else the combination of the two needs to be unsupported.

Above comment should be reworded to clarify that it is expected for
->mk_present to be either true or false here.  As-is, it can be
interpreted as meaning that checking ->mk_present is unnecessary because
it is guaranteed to be true.

The comment above struct fscrypt_master_key (which documents the
different states the master key can be in) also needs to be updated to
document that with filesystems that use per-extent encryption,
->mk_secret isn't wiped when the key is in the incompletely-removed
state (and why that needs to be the case).

Similarly, there seems to have been a lot of incorrect copy+pasting in
the function comment.  This new function requires that the caller *must*
provide an encrypted inode, otherwise it WARNs.  It can't be
"possibly-encrypted".

ctx should have type 'const u8 *'

The documentation "buf must be at most FSCRYPT_SET_CONTEXT_MAX_SIZE" is
incorrect.  It must actually be *at least* the size of
'struct fscrypt_extent_context'.

Given that it's a fixed size, it probably would make sense to make the
ouptut parameter reflect that: 'u8 out[FSCRYPT_EXTENT_CONTEXT_SIZE]'.
Or even just use the struct itself.

Needs clarification about what is meant by "plain".  Some flags are
supported (specifically the filename padding ones), some flags are not.
All encryption modes still seem to be supported.

Similarly, this error message needs clarification.  Some encryption
flags are supported, some aren't.
