i_rwsem needs to be acquired while setting an encryption policy so that
concurrent calls to FS_IOC_SET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY are correctly
serialized (especially the -&gt;get_context() + -&gt;set_context() pair), and
so that new files cannot be created in the directory during or after the
-&gt;empty_dir() check.

<title>fscrypto: make XTS tweak initialization endian-independent</title>

The XTS tweak (or IV) was initialized differently on little endian and
big endian systems.  Because the ciphertext depends on the XTS tweak, it
was not possible to use an encrypted filesystem created by a little
endian system on a big endian system and vice versa, even if they shared
the same PAGE_SIZE.  Fix this by always using little endian.

This will break hypothetical big endian users of ext4 or f2fs
encryption.  However, all users we are aware of are little endian, and
it's believed that "real" big endian users are unlikely to exist yet.
So this might as well be fixed now before it's too late.

<title>fscrypto: make filename crypto functions return 0 on success</title>

Several filename crypto functions: fname_decrypt(),
fscrypt_fname_disk_to_usr(), and fscrypt_fname_usr_to_disk(), returned
the output length on success or -errno on failure.  However, the output
length was redundant with the value written to 'oname-&gt;len'.  It is also
potentially error-prone to make callers have to check for '&lt; 0' instead
of '!= 0'.

Therefore, make these functions return 0 instead of a length, and make
the callers who cared about the return value being a length use
'oname-&gt;len' instead.  For consistency also make other callers check for
a nonzero result rather than a negative result.

This change also fixes the inconsistency of fname_encrypt() actually
already returning 0 on success, not a length like the other filename
crypto functions and as documented in its function comment.

- Validate fscrypt_context.format and fscrypt_context.flags.  If
  unrecognized values are set, then the kernel may not know how to
  interpret the encrypted file, so it should fail the operation.

- Validate that AES_256_XTS is used for contents and that AES_256_CTS is
  used for filenames.  It was previously possible for the kernel to
  accept these reversed, though it would have taken manual editing of
  the block device.  This was not intended.

- Fail cleanly rather than BUG()-ing if a file has an unexpected type.

Since setting an encryption policy requires writing metadata to the
filesystem, it should be guarded by mnt_want_write/mnt_drop_write.
Otherwise, a user could cause a write to a frozen or readonly
filesystem.  This was handled correctly by f2fs but not by ext4.  Make
fscrypt_process_policy() handle it rather than relying on the filesystem
to get it right.

<content type='text'>
The FS_IOC_SET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY ioctl allowed setting an encryption
policy on nondirectory files.  This was unintentional, and in the case
of nonempty regular files did not behave as expected because existing
data was not actually encrypted by the ioctl.

In the case of ext4, the user could also trigger filesystem errors in
-&gt;empty_dir(), e.g. due to mismatched "directory" checksums when the
kernel incorrectly tried to interpret a regular file as a directory.

This bug affected ext4 with kernels v4.8-rc1 or later and f2fs with
kernels v4.6 and later.  It appears that older kernels only permitted
directories and that the check was accidentally lost during the
refactoring to share the file encryption code between ext4 and f2fs.

This patch restores the !S_ISDIR() check that was present in older
kernels.
