So it would be nice for it to be easier to backport the "use different bytes from the encrypted filename" change to 4.4-stable, as I've been doing for some of the other filesystem encryption fixes. And people do need it, it seems, as it causes real problems like undeletable files; Gwendal is even already trying to merge a fix into some Chrome OS kernel. > > I found one issue in my patch and modified it in f2fs tree [1].
