"The main change this cycle is a significant simplification that's been
overdue for a while now: standardizing on a single file contents
encryption implementation in ext4 and f2fs, instead of having two.
Specifically, the original filesystem-layer file contents encryption
implementation is removed, and the blk-crypto implementation is now
used unconditionally. blk-crypto delegates either to inline crypto
hardware or to the CPU via blk-crypto-fallback. The latter is
functionally equivalent to the original filesystem-layer code.
The blk-crypto implementation already existed, but previously it was
used only when the filesystem was mounted with "-o inlinecrypt". Now,
"-o inlinecrypt" just selects whether inline crypto hardware is used.
To allow maintaining that user control over hardware use, the
blk-crypto API is extended with a new flag BLK_CRYPTO_CFG_ALLOW_HW.

When the kernel boots init_task creates PID 1 and then kthreadd. From
that point every kthread and PID 1 share the same fs_struct. That is
why pivot_root() has to rewrite the fs_struct of all kthreads. The
rewriting exists so that kthreads can use init's filesystem state when
they want to. It also means userspace can move the ground out from
under the kernel.
PID 1 now gets a completely separate fs_struct. All kthreads are
anchored in a private SB_KERNMOUNT instance of nullfs that cannot be
mounted on and cannot be used to follow other mounts. Userspace init
can no longer affect kthread filesystem state and kthreads can no
