-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: Michael Halcrow <[email protected]>
upstream commit: d3e49afbb66109613c3474f2273f5830ac2dcb09
The page decrypt calls in ecryptfs_write() are both pointless and buggy.
Pointless because ecryptfs_get_locked_page() has already brought the page
up to date, and buggy because prior mmap writes will just be blown away by
the decrypt call.
This patch also removes the declaration of a now-nonexistent function
ecryptfs_write_zeros().
Thanks to Eric Sandeen and David Kleikamp for helping to track this
down.
Eric said:
fsx w/ mmap dies quickly ( < 100 ops) without this, and survives
nicely (to millions of ops+) with it in place.
