I tested this today and was still able to reproduce failures in
generic/029 and generic/075 with test_dummy_encryption enabled.

On the cluster-side, I'm using a cephadm cluster built using an image
based on your fsize_support branch, rebased onto master (the Oct 7 base
you're using is not good for cephadm).

On the client side, I'm using the ceph-client/wip-fscrypt-size branch,
along with this patch on top.

Xiubo, could you push branches with the current state of client and
server patches that you're using to test this? Maybe that will help
explain why I can still reproduce these problems and you can't.

Thanks,
Jeff
