Hi, There is an infinite loop bug in eCryptfs, to make it present, just truncate to generate a huge file (>= 4G) on a 32-bit machine under the plain text foleder mounted with eCryptfs, a simple command 'truncate -s 4G dummy' is enough. Note: 4GB is smaller than 4G, therefore the following command 'truncate -s 4GB dummy' will not trigger this bug. The bug comes from a data overflow, the patch below fixes it.
