[RFC,14/14] ext4: Enable encryption for subpage-sized blocks

Commit Message

Chandan Rajendra April 12, 2019, 5:10 p.m. UTC

Now that we have the code to support encryption for subpage-sized
blocks, this commit removes the conditional check in filesystem mount
code.

The commit also changes the support statement in
Documentation/filesystems/fscrypt.rst to reflect the fact that
encryption of filesystems with blocksize less than page size now works.

 -------------------
 
 For file contents, each filesystem block is encrypted independently.
-Currently, only the case where the filesystem block size is equal to
-the system's page size (usually 4096 bytes) is supported.
+Starting from Linux kernel 5.3, encryption of filesystems with block
+size less than system's page size is supported.
 
 Each block's IV is set to the logical block number within the file as
 a little endian number, except that:
