[PATCH 13/13] ext4: encrypt only up to last block in ext4_bio_write_page()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

As an optimization, don't encrypt blocks fully beyond i_size, since
those definitely won't need to be written out.  Also add a comment.

This is in preparation for allowing encryption on ext4 filesystems with
blocksize != PAGE_SIZE.

This is based on work by Chandan Rajendra.
