I think this negation is hard to follow, at least I had a hard time
reviewing it.
Wouldn't it make more sense to use CRYPT_IV_USE_SECTORS, set the bit
for algorithms that use sectors as IV (like plain64) and then do a
normal
if (test_bit(CRYPT_IV_USE_SECTORS, &cc->cipher_flags)) {
DMWARN("Zone append is not supported with sector-based IV cyphers");
ti->zone_append_not_supported = true;
}
i.e. without the double negation?
