From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> e2fsck validates that unencrypted symlinks have their strlen() equal to i_size. But it skips the equivalent check of i_size == fscrypt_symlink_data.len + 2 for encrypted symlinks. Actually, the encrypted symlink header is redundant with i_size and shouldn't exist. But it's there, and the kernel does in fact use the length in the header instead of i_size -- so e2fsck should validate the header. Thus, remove the exception for encrypted symlinks, so e2fsck will now require i_size == fscrypt_symlink_data.len + 2. I think the exception was only there originally because for encrypted fast symlinks we were calculating the length using strnlen() which was wrong. But that was fixed by the previous patch.
