That's bad. In patch 2, the caller you are introducing has already checked IS_ENCRYPTED(). Also, your kerneldoc comment for fscrypt_prepare_atomic_open() says it is for *encrypted* directories. So IMO, just remove the IS_ENCRYPTED() check from the CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION version of fscrypt_prepare_atomic_open(). - Eric
