Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
"The first major feature for ext4 this merge window is the largedir
feature, which allows ext4 directories to support over 2 billion
directory entries (assuming ~64 byte file names; in practice, users
will run into practical performance limits first.) This feature was
originally written by the Lustre team, and credit goes to Artem
Blagodarenko from Seagate for getting this feature upstream.
The second major major feature allows ext4 to support extended
attribute values up to 64k. This feature was also originally from
Lustre, and has been enhanced by Tahsin Erdogan from Google with a
deduplication feature so that if multiple files have the same xattr
value (for example, Windows ACL's stored by Samba), only one copy will
be stored on disk for encoding and caching efficiency.
We also have the usual set of bug fixes, cleanups, and optimizations"

ea_inode feature allows creating extended attributes that are up to
64k in size. Update __ext4_new_inode() to pick increased credit limits.
To avoid overallocating too many journal credits, update
__ext4_xattr_set_credits() to make a distinction between xattr create
vs update. This helps __ext4_new_inode() because all attributes are
known to be new, so we can save credits that are normally needed to
delete old values.
Also, have fscrypt specify its maximum context size so that we don't
end up allocating credits for 64k size.

This makes it consistent with ->is_encrypted(), ->empty_dir(), and
fscrypt_dummy_context_enabled().

fscrypt provides facilities to use different encryption algorithms which
are selectable by userspace when setting the encryption policy. Currently,
only AES-256-XTS for file contents and AES-256-CBC-CTS for file names are
implemented. This is a clear case of kernel offers the mechanism and
userspace selects a policy. Similar to what dm-crypt and ecryptfs have.
This patch adds support for using AES-128-CBC for file contents and
AES-128-CBC-CTS for file name encryption. To mitigate watermarking
attacks, IVs are generated using the ESSIV algorithm. While AES-CBC is
actually slightly less secure than AES-XTS from a security point of view,
there is more widespread hardware support. Using AES-CBC gives us the
acceptable performance while still providing a moderate level of security
for persistent storage.
Especially low-powered embedded devices with crypto accelerators such as
CAAM or CESA often only support AES-CBC. Since using AES-CBC over AES-XTS
is basically thought of a last resort, we use AES-128-CBC over AES-256-CBC
since it has less encryption rounds and yields noticeable better
performance starting from a file size of just a few kB.

The only use of the ->prepare_context() fscrypt operation was to allow
ext4 to evict inline data from the inode before ->set_context().
However, there is no reason why this cannot be done as simply the first
step in ->set_context(), and in fact it makes more sense to do it that
way because then the policy modes and flags get validated before any
real work is done. Therefore, merge ext4_prepare_context() into
ext4_set_context(), and remove ->prepare_context().

Previously, each filesystem configured without encryption support would
define all the public fscrypt functions to their notsupp_* stubs. This
list of #defines had to be updated in every filesystem whenever a change
was made to the public fscrypt functions. To make things more
maintainable now that we have three filesystems using fscrypt, split the
old header fscrypto.h into several new headers. fscrypt_supp.h contains
the real declarations and is included by filesystems when configured
with encryption support, whereas fscrypt_notsupp.h contains the inline
stubs and is included by filesystems when configured without encryption
support. fscrypt_common.h contains common declarations needed by both.
