The new helper function fscrypt_prepare_new_inode() runs before S_ENCRYPTED has been set on the new inode. This accidentally made fscrypt_select_encryption_impl() never enable inline encryption on newly created files, due to its use of fscrypt_needs_contents_encryption() which only returns true when S_ENCRYPTED is set. Fix this by using S_ISREG() directly instead of fscrypt_needs_contents_encryption(), analogous to what select_encryption_mode() does. I didn't notice this earlier because by design, the user-visible behavior is the same (other than performance, potentially) regardless of whether inline encryption is used or not.

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.
