[RFC PATCH 2/4] dm-crypt: Skip encryption of file system-encrypted blocks

2017-06-14 Thread Michael Halcrow
File systems can encrypt some of their data blocks with their own encryption keys, and for those blocks another round of encryption at the dm-crypt layer may be redundant, depending on the keys being used. This patch enables dm-crypt to observe the REQ_NOENCRYPT flag as an indicator that a bio

When lower layers such as dm-crypt observe the REQ_NOENCRYPT flag, it helps the I/O stack avoid redundant encryption, improving performance and power utilization. Note that lower layers must be consistent in their observation of this flag in order to avoid the possibility of data corruption.
