IV_INO_LBLK_64 encryption policies have special requirements from the filesystem beyond those of the existing encryption policies: - Inode numbers must never change, even if the filesystem is resized. - Inode numbers must be <= 32 bits. - File logical block numbers must be <= 32 bits. ext4 has 32-bit inode and file logical block numbers. However, resize2fs can re-number inodes when shrinking an ext4 filesystem. However, typically the people who would want to use this format don't care about filesystem shrinking. They'd be fine with a solution that just prevents the filesystem from being shrunk. Therefore, add a new feature flag EXT4_FEATURE_COMPAT_STABLE_INODES that will do exactly that. Then wire up the fscrypt_operations to expose this flag to fs/crypto/, so that it allows IV_INO_LBLK_64 policies when this flag is set.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
