Merge tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/fscrypt
Pull fscrypt updates from Eric Biggers:
- Extend the FS_IOC_ADD_ENCRYPTION_KEY ioctl to allow the raw key to be
provided via a keyring key.
- Prepare for the new dirhash method (SipHash of plaintext name) that
will be used by directories that are both encrypted and casefolded.
- Switch to a new format for "no-key names" that prepares for the new
dirhash method, and also fixes a longstanding bug where multiple
filenames could map to the same no-key name.
- Allow the crypto algorithms used by fscrypt to be built as loadable
modules when the fscrypt-capable filesystems are.
- Optimize fscrypt_zeroout_range().
- Various cleanups.
