Can you please do some more testing?  Just playing around with casefolding (not
even encryption yet), it didn't take long to notice some problems.  E.g.

$ mkfs.f2fs -f -C utf8 /dev/vdc
$ mount /vdc
$ mkdir /vdc/dir
$ chattr +F /vdc/dir
$ echo foo > /vdc/dir/a
$ cat /vdc/dir/A
foo
$ rm /vdc/dir/a
$ cat /vdc/dir/A
foo

I.e. 'rm' only deleted "a", not "A", even though they're the same file.

Also, there's a casefolding test in xfstests, and with this patchset applied it
fails and causes kernel warnings.  It passes without this patchset applied.

$ kvm-xfstests -c f2fs -g casefold
