From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> In _require_encryption_policy_support(), when checking whether the encryption policy is usable, try creating a nonempty file rather than an empty one. This ensures that both the contents and filenames encryption modes are available, rather than just the filenames mode. On f2fs this makes generic/549 be correctly skipped, rather than failed, when run on a kernel built from the latest fscrypt.git tree with CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256=n.
