[PATCH 00/24] UBIFS File Encryption v2

This patch series implements file level encryption for UBIFS.
It makes use of the generic fscrypto framework as used by ext4 and f2fs.
Among file contents also file names are encrypted,
for more details on fscrypto please see [0] and [1].

To support encrypted files in UBIFS multiple preparations were needed.
UBIFS has a different IO model than ext4 and f2fs because it uses MTD
instead of the block layer. But the changes are small and non-invasive.
In UBIFS itself the biggest change was supporting hash lookups.
Now UBIFS is able to provide a 64bit cookie which can be used later
to locate a file. This change will also allow us implementing proper
NFS and telldir() support, but that will be a different patch series.
Because of these changes the UBIFS write version is now 5.

As userspace component I'm currently using e4crypt from e2fsprogs with
EXT2FS_KEY_DESC_PREFIX set to "fscrypt:" instead of "ext4:".
A common tool will hopefully emerge soon[2]. I don't want an UBIFS
specific tool in mtd-utils.

The series is based on the fscrypt tree[3].
It can be obtained from:

Sorry for the off-by-one in the version number, starting with v0 was not
a good idea. ;-\

Changes since v1, http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2016-November/070268.html
 - Rebased to Ted's fscrypt tree[3], this tree contains also David's fscrypo specific
   changes
 - Fixed a build regression

Changes since v0, https://lwn.net/Articles/704261/
 - Rebased to v4.9-rc4
 - Made fscrypto functions generic instead of adding new versions (hch)
 - Addressed various comments (Eric and Ted)
