So then cryptohome can't add keys later. (Note the error message you got, "Error adding dircrypto key".) So it looks like the kernel patch broke both that and ext4_dir_encryption_supported(). I don't see how it could have broken cryptohome by itself, since AFAICS cryptohome only uses EXT4_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY on the partition which is supposed to have the 'encrypt' feature set. - Eric
