Re: [PATCH 00/29] UBIFS File Encryption v1

Richard,

Your fscrypt patches look good. I've created an fscrypt branch on the
ext4.git tree which contains your changes as well as Eric Bigger's
recent fspatch cleanups changes. If you want to base your ubifs
changes on that branch, that would be great. The ext4 dev branch will
be including that fscrypt branch, so it will be feeding into
linux-next that way. If you also base your patches on that, it will
avoid duplicate patches in linux-next and in Linus's tree when he
pulls them.

One quick question. When ubifs uses subpage blocks, can you assume that
they are always powers of two? Or more to the point, can you assume
that it will always be a multiple of the cipher's blocksize?
