Actually, fscrypt doesn't allow moving files without the key.  It would only be
possible for cross-renames, i.e. renames with the RENAME_EXCHANGE flag.  So for
consistency with regular renames, fscrypt also forbids cross-renames if the key
for either the source or destination directory is missing.

So the main use case for the ciphertext view is *deleting* files.  For example,
deleting a user's home directory after that user has been removed from the
system.  Or the system freeing up space by deleting cache files from a user who
isn't currently logged in.

The problem with this mount option is that it allows users to create undeletable
files.  So I'm not really convinced yet this is a good change.  And though the
fscrypt_key_required semantics are easier to implement, we'd still have to
support the existing semantics too, thus increasing the maintenance cost.

It would be preferable if we could get overlayfs to work without providing a
special mount option.

Shouldn't readlink() honor the mount option too?

How about returning -ENOKEY when trying to open the directory in the first
place, rather than allowing getting to readdir()?  That would match the behavior
of regular files.
