- Fixes a regression, introduced in 3.6-rc1, when a file is closed before its
shared memory mapping is dirtied and unmapped. The lower file was being
released when the eCryptfs file was closed and the dirtied pages could not be
written out.
- Adds a call to the lower filesystem's ->flush() from ecryptfs_flush().
- Fixes a regression, introduced in 2.6.39, when a file is renamed on top of
another file. The target file's inode was not being evicted and the space
taken by the file was not reclaimed until eCryptfs was unmounted.
eCryptfs: Copy up attributes of the lower target inode after rename
After calling into the lower filesystem to do a rename, the lower target
inode's attributes were not copied up to the eCryptfs target inode. This
resulted in the eCryptfs target inode staying around, rather than being
evicted, because i_nlink was not updated for the eCryptfs inode. This
also meant that eCryptfs didn't do the final iput() on the lower target
inode so it stayed around, as well. This would result in a failure to
free up space occupied by the target file in the rename() operation.
Both target inodes would eventually be evicted when the eCryptfs
filesystem was unmounted.
This patch calls fsstack_copy_attr_all() after the lower filesystem
does its ->rename() so that important inode attributes, such as i_nlink,
are updated at the eCryptfs layer. ecryptfs_evict_inode() is now called
and eCryptfs can drop its final reference on the lower inode.
