Encrypted files traditionally haven't supported DIO, due to the need to encrypt/decrypt the data. However, when the encryption is implemented using inline encryption (blk-crypto) instead of the traditional filesystem-layer encryption, it is straightforward to support DIO. In preparation for supporting this, add the following functions: - fscrypt_dio_supported() checks whether a DIO request is supported as far as encryption is concerned. Encrypted files will only support DIO when inline encryption is used and the I/O request is properly aligned; this function checks these preconditions. - fscrypt_limit_io_blocks() limits the length of a bio to avoid crossing a place in the file that a bio with an encryption context cannot cross due to a DUN discontiguity. This function is needed by filesystems that use the iomap DIO implementation (which operates directly on logical ranges, so it won't use fscrypt_mergeable_bio()) and that support FSCRYPT_POLICY_FLAG_IV_INO_LBLK_32.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
