Older kernels don't support encryption with casefolding. This adds

Actually looking at it more closely, this patch is wrong.

It only makes sense to declare "encrypted_casefold" as a feature of the
filesystem implementation, i.e. /sys/fs/f2fs/features/encrypted_casefold.

It does *not* make sense to declare it as a feature of a particular filesystem
instance, i.e. /sys/fs/f2fs/$disk/features, as it is already implied by the
filesystem instance having both the encryption and casefold features enabled.

Can we add /sys/fs/f2fs/features/encrypted_casefold only?

wait.. /sys/fs/f2fs/features/encrypted_casefold is on by
CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION && CONFIG_UNICODE.
OTOH, /sys/fs/f2fs/$dis/feature_list/encrypted_casefold is on by
on-disk features: F2FS_FEATURE_ENCRYPT and F2FS_FEATURE_CASEFOLD.


Yes, but in the on-disk case, encrypted_casefold is redundant because it simply
means encrypt && casefold.  There is no encrypted_casefold flag on-disk.

I prefer to keep encrypted_casefold likewise kernel feature, which is more
intuitive to users.

encrypted_casefold is a kernel feature support flag, not a disk one, IMO, it's
not needed to add it in to per-disk feature list, it may mislead user that
compatible encrypted casefold needs a extra disk layout support while disk has
already encrypted and casefold feature enabled.

Thanks,
