The HKDF addition is used to replace the implementation in the filesystem
crypto extension. This code was tested by using an EXT4 encrypted file
system that was created and contains files written to by the current
implementation. Using the new implementation a successful read of the
existing files was possible and new files / directories were created
and read successfully. These newly added file system objects could be
successfully read using the current code. Yet if there is a test suite
to validate whether the invokcation of the HKDF calculates the same
result as the existing implementation, I would be happy to validate
the implementation accordingly.
See https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/fscrypt.html#tests
for how to run the fscrypt tests.  'kvm-xfstests -c ext4 generic/582' should
be
enough for this, though you could run all the tests if you want.
I ran the $(kvm-xfstests -c encrypt -g auto) on 5.11-rc2 with and without my
HKDF changes. I.e. the testing shows the same results for both kernels which
seems to imply that my HKDF changes do not change the behavior.

I get the following errors in both occasions - let me know if I should dig a
bit more.
The command you ran runs almost all xfstests with the test_dummy_encryption
mount option enabled, which is different from running the encryption tests --
and in fact it skips the real encryption tests, so it doesn't test the
correctness of HKDF at all.  It looks like you saw some unrelated test failures.
Sorry if I wasn't clear -- by "all tests" I meant all encryption tests, i.e.
'kvm-xfstests -c ext4 -g encrypt'.  Also, even the single test generic/582
should be sufficient to test HKDF, as I mentioned.
I just did it myself and the tests pass.
