[PATCH 4.4 106/112] ext4: do not advertise encryption support when disabled

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Oct 26 2016 - 08:36:30 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit c4704a4fbe834eee4109ca064131d440941f6235 upstream.

The sysfs file /sys/fs/ext4/features/encryption was present on kernels
compiled with CONFIG_EXT4_FS_ENCRYPTION=n. This was misleading because
such kernels do not actually support ext4 encryption. Therefore, only
provide this file on kernels compiled with CONFIG_EXT4_FS_ENCRYPTION=y.

Note: since the ext4 feature files are all hardcoded to have a contents
of "supported", it really is the presence or absence of the file that is
significant, not the contents (and this change reflects that).
