Whenever a device supports blk-integrity, make the kernel pretend that
the device doesn't support inline encryption (essentially by setting the
keyslot manager in the request queue to NULL).
There's no hardware currently that supports both integrity and inline
encryption. However, it seems possible that there will be such hardware
in the near future (like the NVMe key per I/O support that might support
both inline encryption and PI).
But properly integrating both features is not trivial, and without
real hardware that implements both, it is difficult to tell if it will
be done correctly by the majority of hardware that support both.
So it seems best not to support both features together right now, and
to decide what to do at probe time.

Inline Encryption hardware allows software to specify an encryption context
(an encryption key, crypto algorithm, data unit num, data unit size) along
with a data transfer request to a storage device, and the inline encryption
hardware will use that context to en/decrypt the data. The inline
encryption hardware is part of the storage device, and it conceptually sits
on the data path between system memory and the storage device.
Inline Encryption hardware implementations often function around the
concept of "keyslots". These implementations often have a limited number
of "keyslots", each of which can hold a key (we say that a key can be
"programmed" into a keyslot). Requests made to the storage device may have
a keyslot and a data unit number associated with them, and the inline
encryption hardware will en/decrypt the data in the requests using the key
programmed into that associated keyslot and the data unit number specified
with the request.
As keyslots are limited, and programming keys may be expensive in many
implementations, and multiple requests may use exactly the same encryption
contexts, we introduce a Keyslot Manager to efficiently manage keyslots.
We also introduce a blk_crypto_key, which will represent the key that's
programmed into keyslots managed by keyslot managers. The keyslot manager
also functions as the interface that upper layers will use to program keys
into inline encryption hardware. For more information on the Keyslot
Manager, refer to documentation found in block/keyslot-manager.c and
linux/keyslot-manager.h.
