Re: [PATCH 3/3] block: Rework splitting of encrypted bios

This adds a lot of mess to work around the blk-crypto fallback code, and
looking at it a bit more I think the fundamental problem is that we
call into the blk-crypto fallback code from the block layer, which is
very much against how the rest of the block layer works for submit_bio
based driver.

So instead of piling up workarounds in the block layer code I'd suggest
you change the blk-crypto code to work more like the rest of the block
layer for bio based drivers, i.e. move the call into the drivers that
you care about and stop supporting it for others.  The whole concept
of working around the lack of features in drivers in the block layer
is just going to cause more and more problems.
