eCryptfs was passing the LOOKUP_OPEN flag through to the lower file
system, even though ecryptfs_create() doesn't support the flag. A valid
filp for the lower filesystem could be returned in the nameidata if the
lower file system's create() function supported LOOKUP_OPEN, possibly
resulting in unencrypted writes to the lower file.

However, this is only a potential problem in filesystems (FUSE, NFS,
CIFS, CEPH, 9p) that eCryptfs isn't known to support today.

Ecryptfs is a stackable filesystem which relies on lower filesystems the
ability of setting/getting extended attributes.

If there is a security module enabled on the system it updates the
'security' field of inodes according to the owned extended attribute set
with the function vfs_setxattr().  When this function is performed on a
ecryptfs filesystem the 'security' field is not updated for the lower
filesystem since the call security_inode_post_setxattr() is missing for
the lower inode.
Further, the call security_inode_setxattr() is missing for the lower inode,
leading to policy violations in the security module because specific
checks for this hook are not performed (i. e. filesystem
'associate' permission on SELinux is not checked for the lower filesystem).

This patch replaces the call of the setxattr() method of the lower inode
in the function ecryptfs_setxattr() with vfs_setxattr().

Fixes a regression caused by 21edad32205e97dc7ccb81a85234c77e760364c8

When file name encryption was enabled, ecryptfs_lookup() failed to use
the encrypted and encoded version of the upper, plaintext, file name
when performing a lookup in the lower file system. This made it
impossible to lookup existing encrypted file names and any newly created
files would have plaintext file names in the lower file system.

  ecryptfs: dont call lookup_one_len to avoid NULL nameidata
  fs/ecryptfs/file.c: introduce missing free
  ecryptfs: release reference to lower mount if interpose fails
  eCryptfs: Handle ioctl calls with unlocked and compat functions
  ecryptfs: Fix warning in ecryptfs_process_response()

Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding
those checks to inode_change_ok.  Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
to make this obvious.

As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error.  This
simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
almost everywhere.  Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.

Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
audit for its removal anyway.

Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and
needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

I have encountered the same problem that Eric Sandeen described in
this post

 http://lkml.org/lkml/fancy/2010/4/23/467

while experimenting with stackable filesystems.

The reason seems to be that ecryptfs calls lookup_one_len() to get the
lower dentry, which in turn calls the lower parent dirs d_revalidate()
with a NULL nameidata object.
If ecryptfs is the underlaying filesystem, the NULL pointer dereference
occurs, since ecryptfs is not prepared to handle a NULL nameidata.

I know that this cant happen any more, since it is no longer allowed to
mount ecryptfs upon itself.

But maybe this patch it useful nevertheless, since the problem would still
apply for an underlaying filesystem that implements d_revalidate() and is
not prepared to handle a NULL nameidata (I dont know if there actually
is such a fs).

With this patch (against 2.6.35-rc5) ecryptfs uses the vfs_lookup_path()
function instead of lookup_one_len() which ensures that the nameidata
passed to the lower filesystems d_revalidate().

In ecryptfs_lookup_and_interpose_lower() the lower mount is not decremented
if allocation of a dentry info struct failed. As a result the lower filesystem
cant be unmounted any more (since it is considered busy). This patch corrects
the reference counting.

Lots of filesystems calls vmtruncate despite not implementing the old
->truncate method.  Switch them to use simple_setsize and add some
comments about the truncate code where it seems fitting.
