Merge tag 'fscrypt_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/fscrypt
Pull fscrypt updates from Ted Ts'o: "Refactor support for encrypted symlinks to move common code to fscrypt" Ted also points out about the merge: "This makes the f2fs symlink code use the fscrypt_encrypt_symlink() from the fscrypt tree. This will end up dropping the kzalloc() -> f2fs_kzalloc() change, which means the fscrypt-specific allocation won't get tested by f2fs's kmalloc error injection system; which is fine" * tag 'fscrypt_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/fscrypt: (26 commits) fscrypt: fix build with pre-4.6 gcc versions fscrypt: remove 'ci' parameter from fscrypt_put_encryption_info() fscrypt: document symlink length restriction fscrypt: fix up fscrypt_fname_encrypted_size() for internal use fscrypt: define fscrypt_fname_alloc_buffer() to be for presented names fscrypt: calculate NUL-padding length in one place only fscrypt: move fscrypt_symlink_data to fscrypt_private.h fscrypt: remove fscrypt_fname_usr_to_disk() ubifs: switch to fscrypt_get_symlink() ubifs: switch to fscrypt ->symlink() helper functions ubifs: free the encrypted symlink target f2fs: switch to fscrypt_get_symlink() f2fs: switch to fscrypt ->symlink() helper functions ext4: switch to fscrypt_get_symlink() ext4: switch to fscrypt ->symlink() helper functions fscrypt: new helper function - fscrypt_get_symlink() fscrypt: new helper functions for ->symlink() fscrypt: trim down fscrypt.h includes fscrypt: move fscrypt_is_dot_dotdot() to fs/crypto/fname.c fscrypt: move fscrypt_valid_enc_modes() to fscrypt_private.h ...

- The st_size of an encrypted symlink will not necessarily give the
|
||||
length of the symlink target as required by POSIX. It will actually
|
||||
give the length of the ciphertext, which may be slightly longer than
|
||||
the plaintext due to the NUL-padding.
|
||||
give the length of the ciphertext, which will be slightly longer
|
||||
than the plaintext due to NUL-padding and an extra 2-byte overhead.
|
||||
|
||||
- The maximum length of an encrypted symlink is 2 bytes shorter than
|
||||
the maximum length of an unencrypted symlink. For example, on an
|
||||
EXT4 filesystem with a 4K block size, unencrypted symlinks can be up
|
||||
to 4095 bytes long, while encrypted symlinks can only be up to 4093
|
||||
bytes long (both lengths excluding the terminating null).
|
||||
|
||||
Note that mmap *is* supported. This is possible because the pagecache
|
||||
for an encrypted file contains the plaintext, not the ciphertext.
