I'm not sure we want to worry about .snap directories here since they
aren't "real". IIRC, snaps are inherited from parents too, so you could
do something like

     mkdir dir1
     mkdir dir1/.snap/snap1
     mkdir dir1/dir2
     fscrypt encrypt dir1/dir2

There should be nothing to prevent encrypting dir2, but I'm pretty sure
dir2/.snap will not be empty at that point.

If we don't take care of this. Then we don't know which snapshots should do encrypt/dencrypt and which shouldn't when building the path in lookup and when reading the snapdir ?

Hi Luis,

There has another issue you need to handle at the same time.

Currently only the empty directory could be enabled the file encryption,
such as for the following command:

$ fscrypt encrypt mydir/

But should we also make sure that the mydir/.snap/ is empty ?

Here the 'empty' is not totally empty, which allows it should allow long
snap names exist.

Make sense ?

Hi!

A couple of changes since v1:

- Dropped the dentry->d_flags change in ceph_mkdir().  Thanks to Xiubo
    suggestion, patch 0001 now skips calling ceph_fscrypt_prepare_context()
    if we're handling a snapshot.

- Added error handling to ceph_get_snapdir() in patch 0001 (Jeff had
    already pointed that out but I forgot to include that change in previous
    revision).

- Rebased patch 0002 to the latest wip-fscrypt branch.

- Added some documentation regarding snapshots naming restrictions.

As before, in order to test this code the following PRs are required:

    mds: add protection from clients without fscrypt support #45073
    mds: use the whole string as the snapshot long name #45192
    mds: support alternate names for snapshots #45224
    mds: limit the snapshot names to 240 characters #45312
