For what it's worth, I've been making a few updates to the public design
document for ext4 encryption based on what's actually upstream now:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ft26lUQyuSpiu6VleP70_npaWdRfXFoNnB8JYnykNTg

It still needs work, though.  It doesn't really answer the questions about
access control and key revocation, for example, and of course now the upstream
code isn't actually ext4 specific anymore.

At some point it might be nice to write some in-tree documentation for fscrypto,
e.g. a file Documentation/filesystems/fscrypto.txt.
