This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled
eCryptfs: Unlink lower inode when ecryptfs_create() fails
to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.yuz extended stable tree
which can be found at:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the 3.5
Linux kernel, or for any feedback related to it, please reply to
this email. For more information on extended stable, see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable
Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] eCryptfs: Unlink lower inode when ecryptfs_create() fails
commit 8bc2d3cf612994a960c2e8eaea37f6676f67082a upstream.
ecryptfs_create() creates a lower inode, allocates an eCryptfs inode,
initializes the eCryptfs inode and cryptographic metadata attached to
the inode, and then writes the metadata to the header of the file.
If an error was to occur after the lower inode was created, an empty
lower file would be left in the lower filesystem. This is a problem
because ecryptfs_open() refuses to open any lower files which do not
have the appropriate metadata in the file header.
This patch properly unlinks the lower inode when an error occurs in the
later stages of ecryptfs_create(), reducing the chance that an empty
lower file will be left in the lower filesystem.

It's nice that you are doing this work, but please don't send these
types of messages to the [email protected] mailing list as they
aren't really relevant there at all. I doubt that lkml also cares about
them either, I know I always strip off public mailing lists (except for
stable) when sending these types of messages.
Also, you might want to reword that last paragraph a bit...
thnaks,
