Now that all fscrypt-capable filesystems store the pointer to fscrypt_inode_info in the filesystem-specific part of the inode structure, inode::i_crypt_info is no longer needed. Update fscrypt_inode_info_addr() to no longer support the fallback to inode::i_crypt_info. Finally, remove inode::i_crypt_info itself along with the now-unnecessary forward declaration of fscrypt_inode_info. The end result of the migration to the filesystem-specific pointer is memory savings on CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION=y kernels for all filesystems that don't support fscrypt. Specifically, their in-memory inodes are now smaller by the size of a pointer: either 4 or 8 bytes.

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 reStructuredText 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.
