From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> The new helper function fscrypt_prepare_new_inode() runs before S_ENCRYPTED has been set on the new inode. This accidentally made fscrypt_select_encryption_impl() never enable inline encryption on newly created files, due to its use of fscrypt_needs_contents_encryption() which only returns true when S_ENCRYPTED is set. Fix this by using S_ISREG() directly instead of fscrypt_needs_contents_encryption(), analogous to what select_encryption_mode() does. I didn't notice this earlier because by design, the user-visible behavior is the same (other than performance, potentially) regardless of whether inline encryption is used or not.
