Well, most structs that fscrypt.rst refers to are defined in
include/uapi/linux/fscrypt.h. The whole fscrypt UAPI, including the fields of
these structs, is documented in fscrypt.rst. So I didn't really intend the
fscrypt UAPI structs to have kerneldoc comments, as people are supposed to refer
to the documentation in fscrypt.rst instead. We could have both, but it feels a
bit redundant.
