Most filesystems just call fscrypt_set_context on new inodes, which usually causes a setxattr. That's a bit late for ceph, which can send along a full set of attributes with the create request. Doing so allows it to avoid race windows that where the new inode could be seen by other clients without the crypto context attached. It also avoids the separate round trip to the server. Refactor the fscrypt code a bit to allow us to create a new crypto context, attach it to the inode, and write it to the buffer, but without calling set_context on it. ceph can later use this to marshal the context into the attributes we send along with the create request.

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.
