  blk-crypto: Update docs for blk-crypto-fallback motivation (2026-07-20 10:39:26 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------

The main change this cycle is a significant simplification that's been
overdue for a while now: standardizing on a single file contents
encryption implementation in ext4 and f2fs, instead of having two.

Specifically, the original filesystem-layer file contents encryption
implementation is removed, and the blk-crypto implementation is now
used unconditionally. blk-crypto delegates either to inline crypto
hardware or to the CPU via blk-crypto-fallback. The latter is
functionally equivalent to the original filesystem-layer code.

The blk-crypto implementation already existed, but previously it was
used only when the filesystem was mounted with "-o inlinecrypt". Now,
"-o inlinecrypt" just selects whether inline crypto hardware is used.

To allow maintaining that user control over hardware use, the
blk-crypto API is extended with a new flag BLK_CRYPTO_CFG_ALLOW_HW.

Overall, this removes quite a bit of redundant code from ext4, f2fs,
and fs/crypto/. It should make things easier for ongoing filesystem
efforts such as iomap support, large folios, and btrfs encryption.
(btrfs had already been planning to use blk-crypto exclusively.)

There are two small behavior changes of note:

- Direct I/O now works on encrypted files even without
  "-o inlinecrypt", rather than falling back to buffered I/O. This is
  effectively a bugfix, though I'll continue to keep an eye out for
  any user that may have been depending on the buffered I/O fallback.

- IV_INO_LBLK_32 policies are no longer supported in certain cases
  that didn't make sense and have no known uses.

This has been in linux-next since July 22 with no reported issues.
All encryption xfstests pass on ext4 and f2fs. As usual I've also been
using it on a system with an fscrypt-encrypted home directory. Of
course, the blk-crypto code paths also aren't new and were already
being used on many systems via the inlinecrypt mount option.

In addition to the main change described above, there are a few other
cleanups such as using lock guards for mutexes, improving
documentation, and removing a workaround for outdated gcc versions.
