I thought encrypted flag is representing metadata also (and not just
data). Is that not the case.

I will merge the two patches. I am not sure about the mask thing though.
We can probably start with encryption and compression flags for now and
make it more generic down the line (using that mask).

Hmm.., I am not able to see where is the bug. Did you notice the "!"
in if condition.
We will set STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED in attributes_mask and attributes
only if lower has STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED set both in ->attributes_mask
and ->attributes.
