Hi Jason! My apologies for not getting to this review earlier. I haven't
had much time to spend on eCryptfs lately.
Thanks for this bug fix! This patch looks mostly good but I have a
suggestion and question below.

I worry that the ecryptfs_header_cache size and
ECRYPTFS_DEFAULT_EXTENT_SIZE aren't tied together in any way. What do
you think about using ecryptfs_header_cache->size instead of
ECRYPTFS_DEFAULT_EXTENT_SIZE here?
I think you probably copied this call to ecryptfs_getxattr_lower() from
elsewhere in fs/ecryptfs/* so I wouldn't expect you to have use
ecryptfs_header_cache->size but maybe we should correct it before making
the same mistake twice.

Why not pass rc up from ecryptfs_getxattr_lower() instead of masking its
error with -EINVAL?

Lets make sure that rc is greater than or equal to
ECRYPTFS_FILE_SIZE_AND_MARKER_BYTES before proceeding.

I don't feel like a memset() is needed here since the header metadata is
not considered to be secret in itself. All secrets are encrypted.
