It is only meant as a way to temporarily present valid filenames so that commands like ``rm -r`` work as expected on encrypted directories. +Direct I/O support +------------------ + +Direct I/O on encrypted files is supported through blk-crypto. In +particular, this means the kernel must have CONFIG_BLK_INLINE_ENCRYPTION +enabled, the filesystem must have had the 'inlinecrypt' mount option +specified, and either hardware inline encryption must be present, or +CONFIG_BLK_INLINE_ENCRYPTION_FALLBACK must have been enabled. Further, +any I/O must be aligned to the filesystem block size (*not* necessarily +the same as the block device's block size) - in particular, any userspace +buffer into which data is read/written from must also be aligned to the +filesystem block size.
