Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
and sockets and negative for everything else. Not to mention the removal of
boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances...

From mhalcrow's original commit message:
Characters with ASCII values greater than the size of
filename_rev_map[] are valid filename characters.
ecryptfs_decode_from_filename() will access kernel memory beyond
that array, and ecryptfs_parse_tag_70_packet() will then decrypt
those characters. The attacker, using the FNEK of the crafted file,
can then re-encrypt the characters to reveal the kernel memory past
the end of the filename_rev_map[] array. I expect low security
impact since this array is statically allocated in the text area,
and the amount of memory past the array that is accessible is
limited by the largest possible ASCII filename character.
This patch solves the issue reported by mhalcrow but with an
implementation suggested by Linus to simply extend the length of
filename_rev_map[] to 256. Characters greater than 0x7A are mapped to
0x00, which is how invalid characters less than 0x7A were previously
being handled.

Dirty pages weren't being written back when an mmap'ed eCryptfs file was
closed before the mapping was unmapped. Since f_ops->flush() is not
called by the munmap() path, the lower file was simply being released.
This patch flushes the eCryptfs file in the vm_ops->close() path.

The file creation path prematurely called d_instantiate() and
unlock_new_inode() before the eCryptfs inode info was fully
allocated and initialized and before the eCryptfs metadata was written
to the lower file.
This could result in race conditions in subsequent file and inode
operations leading to unexpected error conditions or a null pointer
dereference while attempting to use the unallocated memory.

Fixes a regression caused by b5695d04634fa4ccca7dcbc05bb4a66522f02e0b
Kernel keyring keys containing eCryptfs authentication tokens should not
be write locked when calling out to ecryptfsd to wrap and unwrap file
encryption keys. The eCryptfs kernel code can not hold the key's write
lock because ecryptfsd needs to request the key after receiving such a
request from the kernel.
Without this fix, all file opens and creates will timeout and fail when
using the eCryptfs PKI infrastructure. This is not an issue when using
passphrase-based mount keys, which is the most widely deployed eCryptfs
configuration.

- Simplify gotos and error paths
- Create helper function for reading plaintext i_size from metadata

The eCryptfs inode get, initialization, and dentry interposition code
has two separate paths. One is for when dentry interposition is needed
after doing things like a mkdir in the lower filesystem and the other
is needed after a lookup. Unlocking new inodes and doing a d_add() needs
to happen at different times, depending on which type of dentry
interposing is being done.
This patch cleans up the inode get and initialization code paths and
splits them up so that the locking and d_add() differences mentioned
above can be handled appropriately in a later patch.

The buffers allocated while encrypting and decrypting long filenames can

kernel: ecryptfs_encrypt_and_encode_filename: Error attempting to

When failing to read the lower file's crypto metadata during a lookup,
eCryptfs must continue on without throwing an error. For example, there
may be a plaintext file in the lower mount point that the user wants to
delete through the eCryptfs mount.
If an error is encountered while reading the metadata in lookup(), the
eCryptfs inode's size could be incorrect. We must be sure to reread the
plaintext inode size from the metadata when performing an open() or
setattr(). The metadata is already being read in those paths, so this
adds minimal performance overhead.
This patch introduces a flag which will track whether or not the
plaintext inode size has been read so that an incorrect i_size can be
fixed in the open() or setattr() paths.

For any given lower inode, eCryptfs keeps only one lower file open and
multiplexes all eCryptfs file operations through that lower file. The
lower file was considered "persistent" and stayed open from the first
lookup through the lifetime of the inode.
This patch keeps the notion of a single, per-inode lower file, but adds
reference counting around the lower file so that it is closed when not
currently in use. If the reference count is at 0 when an operation (such
as open, create, etc.) needs to use the lower file, a new lower file is
opened. Since the file is no longer persistent, all references to the
term persistent file are changed to lower file.
Locking is added around the sections of code that opens the lower file
and assign the pointer in the inode info, as well as the code the fputs
the lower file when all eCryptfs users are done with it.
This patch is needed to fix issues, when mounted on top of the NFSv3
client, where the lower file is left silly renamed until the eCryptfs
inode is destroyed.

When creating a new eCryptfs file, the crypto metadata is written out
and then the lower file was being "grown" with 4 kB of encrypted zeroes.
I suspect that growing the encrypted file was to prevent an information
leak that the unencrypted file was empty. However, the unencrypted file
size is stored, in plaintext, in the metadata so growing the file is
unnecessary.
