Re: [PATCH v3 0/3] f2fs: support encrypted inline data

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the explanation.

I understand the concern about deriving software contents keys from
sw_secret for hardware-wrapped-key files. I agree this is not the right
security model, and I will stop pursuing this direction for now.

Could you share more about the direction you have in mind for simplifying
f2fs/ext4 contents encryption around blk-crypto?

For f2fs inline_data, there is still a real space-saving benefit on phones,
since many encrypted files are smaller than 4K. Is there any acceptable
future direction to support this kind of inode-resident data with
blk-crypto or hardware-wrapped keys?

Thanks,
Liao Yuanhong
