To be even more clear:

The main reason this patchset is not helpful is that the
ceph-fscrypt-content-experimental branch in my tree has bitrotted in the
face of other changes that have gone into the testing branch since it
was cut. Also, that branch had several patches that added in actual
encryption of the content, which we don't want to do at this point.

For the work you're doing, what I'd like to see is a patchset based on
top of the ceph-client/wip-fscrypt-fnames branch. That patchset should
make it so what when encryption is enabled, the size handling for the
inode is changed to use the new scheme we've added, but don't do any
actual content encryption yet. Feel free to pick any of the patches in
my trees that you need to do this, but it needs to be the whole series.

What we need to be able to do in this phase is validate that the size
handling is correct in both the encrypted and non-encrypted cases, but
without encrypting the data. Once that piece is working, then we should
be able to add in content encryption.
