    fscrypt: restrict IV_INO_LBLK_* to AES-256-XTS · f000223c
    Eric Biggers authored
    IV_INO_LBLK_* exist only because of hardware limitations, and currently
    the only known use case for them involves AES-256-XTS.  Therefore, for
    now only allow them in combination with AES-256-XTS.  This way we don't
    have to worry about them being combined with other encryption modes.
    
    (To be clear, combining IV_INO_LBLK_* with other encryption modes
    *should* work just fine.  It's just not being tested, so we can't be
    100% sure it works.  So with no known use case, it's best to disallow it
    for now, just like we don't allow other weird combinations like
    AES-256-XTS contents encryption with Adiantum filenames encryption.)
    
    This can be relaxed later if a use case for other combinations arises.
