From: Chandan Rajendra <chandan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Now that we have the code to support encryption for subpage-sized
blocks, this commit removes the conditional check in filesystem mount
code.
The commit also changes the support statement in
Documentation/filesystems/fscrypt.rst to reflect the fact that
encryption on filesystems with blocksize less than page size now works.
[EB: Tested with 'gce-xfstests -c ext4/encrypt_1k -g auto', using the
new "encrypt_1k" config I created. All tests pass except for those that
already fail or are excluded with the encrypt or 1k configs, and 2 tests
that try to create 1023-byte symlinks which fails since encrypted
symlinks are limited to blocksize-3 bytes. Also ran the dedicated
encryption tests using 'kvm-xfstests -c ext4/1k -g encrypt'; all pass,
including the on-disk ciphertext verification tests.]

For file contents, each filesystem block is encrypted independently.
-Currently, only the case where the filesystem block size is equal to
-the system's page size (usually 4096 bytes) is supported.
+Starting from Linux kernel 5.5, encryption of filesystems with block
+size less than system's page size is supported.
Each block's IV is set to the logical block number within the file as
a little endian number, except that:
