Hi David,
thanks for resubmitting the patch series.  No requests to add features here,
just a couple of comments on the patches regarding the implementation...

This flag overlaps with FS_ENCRYPT_FL that is encoded in the FS_IOC_GETFLAGS
attributes.  Are the FS_* flags expected to be translated into STATX_INFO_*
flags by each filesystem, or will they be partly duplicated in a separate
"st_attrs" field added in the future?
