Hi! While reading the fscrypt code I noticed that some functions use the bounce pages and some not. fscrypt_decrypt_page() and fscrypt_decrypt_bio_pages() work in-place while fscrypt_encrypt_page() and fscrypt_zeroout_range() use a bounce page. So, both ext4 and f2fs encrypt data using an extra buffer but decrypt mostly in-place without the need of an extra buffer. Why that? I'd assume when decryption can be done in-place also encryption is possible that way. I'm working on fscrypt for UBIFS and would like to avoid an extra buffer since memory is low on embedded systems.
