If we have a dentry which represents a no-key name, then we need to test
whether the parent directory's encryption key has since been added.  Do
that before we test anything else about the dentry.

This patch has confused me in the past, and today I found myself
scratching my head again looking at it.

So, I've started seeing generic/123 test failing when running it with
test_dummy_encryption.  I was almost sure that this test used to run fine
before, but I couldn't find any evidence (somehow I lost my old testing
logs...).

Anyway, the test is quite simple:

1. Creates a directory with write permissions for root only
2. Writes into a file in that directory
3. Uses 'su' to try to modify that file as a different user, and
     gets -EPERM

All these steps run fine, and the test should pass.  *However*, in the
test cleanup function, a simple 'rm -rf <dir>' will fail with -ENOTEMPTY.
'strace' shows that calling unlinkat() to remove the file got a '-ENOENT'
and then -ENOTEMPTY for the directory.

Some digging allowed me to figure out that running commands with 'su' will
drop caches (I see 'su (874): drop_caches: 2' in the log).  And this is
how I ended up looking at this patch.  fscrypt_d_revalidate() will return
'0' if the parent directory does has a key (fscrypt_has_encryption_key()).
Can we really say here that the dentry is *not* valid in that case?  Or
should that '<= 0' be a '< 0'?

(But again, this patch has confused me before...)
Luis,

Could you reproduce it with the latest testing branch ?
Yes, I'm seeing this with the latest code.

Okay. That's odd.

BTW, are you using the non-root user to run the test ?

Locally I am using the root user and still couldn't reproduce it.


I never seen the generic/123 failure yet. And just now I ran the test for many
times locally it worked fine.
That's odd.  With 'test_dummy_encryption' mount option I can reproduce it
every time.

 From the generic/123 test code it will never touch the key while testing, that
means the dentries under the test dir will always have the keyed name. And then
the 'fscrypt_d_revalidate()' should return 1 always.

Only when we remove the key will it trigger evicting the inodes and then when we
add the key back will the 'fscrypt_d_revalidate()' return 0 by checking the
'fscrypt_has_encryption_key()'.

As I remembered we have one or more fixes about this those days, not sure
whether you were hitting those bugs we have already fixed ?
Yeah, I remember now, and I guess there's yet another one here!

I'll look closer into this and see if I can find out something else.  I'm
definitely seeing 'fscrypt_d_revalidate()' returning 0, so probably the
bug is in the error paths, when the 'fsgqa' user tries to write into the
file.

Please add some debug logs in the code.

Thanks

Thanks for your feedback, Xiubo.
