Need few clarifications. Could you please help explain what am I missing here?

Sorry, I am missing something here. Could you please help me understand why
do we need the other OR case which you mentioned above i.e.
"|| fscrypt_is_dummy_policy_set(&sbi->s_dummy_enc_policy)"

So maybe to put it this way, when will it be the case where
fscrypt_is_dummy_policy_set(&sbi->s_dummy_enc_policy) is true and it is not a
FS_CONTEXT_FOR_RECONFIGURE case?

Also just in case if I did miss something that also means the comment after this
case will not be valid anymore?
i.e.
		/*
         * fscrypt_add_test_dummy_key() technically changes the super_block, so
         * it technically should be delayed until ext4_apply_options() like the
         * other changes.  But since we never get here for remounts (see above),
         * and this is the last chance to report errors, we do it here.
         */
        err = fscrypt_add_test_dummy_key(sb, &ctx->dummy_enc_policy);
        if (err)
                ext4_msg(NULL, KERN_WARNING,
                         "Error adding test dummy encryption key [%d]", err);
        return err;

Why?
Isn't it true that in remount we should update EXT4_SB(sb)->s_dummy_enc_policy
only when ctx->dummy_enc_policy is set. If EXT4_SB(sb)->s_dummy_enc_policy is
already set and ctx->dummy_enc_policy is not set, that means it's a remount case with no mount
opts in which case ext4 should continue to have the same value of EXT4_SB(sb)->s_dummy_enc_policy?

Did I miss any case here?
