Subject: ext4: enforce online defrag restriction for encrypted files
From: Eric Whitney <enwlinux@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 14fbd4aa613bd5110556c281799ce36dc6f3ba97 upstream.
Online defragging of encrypted files is not currently implemented.
However, the move extent ioctl can still return successfully when
called. For example, this occurs when xfstest ext4/020 is run on an
encrypted file system, resulting in a corrupted test file and a
corresponding test failure.
Until the proper functionality is implemented, fail the move extent
ioctl if either the original or donor file is encrypted.
