It's already mentioned that filenames are encrypted: "fscrypt protects the
confidentiality of file contents and filenames in the event of a single
point-in-time permanent offline compromise of the block device content."
There's not much more to it than that; all the other points in the "Threat
model" section (offline manipulations, timing attacks, access control, key
eviction, etc.) are essentially the same between contents and filenames
encryption.
