    eCryptfs: make ecryptfs_prepare_write decrypt the page · e4465fda
    Michael Halcrow 提交于
    When the page is not up to date, ecryptfs_prepare_write() should be
    acting much like ecryptfs_readpage(). This includes the painfully
    obvious step of actually decrypting the page contents read from the
    lower encrypted file.
    
    Note that this patch resolves a bug in eCryptfs in 2.6.24 that one can
    produce with these steps:
    
    # mount -t ecryptfs /secret /secret
    # echo "abc" > /secret/file.txt
    # umount /secret
    # mount -t ecryptfs /secret /secret
    # echo "def" >> /secret/file.txt
    # cat /secret/file.txt
    
    Without this patch, the resulting data returned from cat is likely to
    be something other than "abc\ndef\n".
    
    (Thanks to Benedikt Driessen for reporting this.)
