This series fixes a longstanding race condition where a duplicate filename can be created in an encrypted directory if a syscall that creates a new filename (e.g. open() or mkdir()) races with the directory's encryption key being added. To close this race, we need to prevent creating files if the dentry is still marked as a no-key name. I.e. we need to fail the ->create() (or other operation that creates a new filename) if the key wasn't available when doing the dentry lookup earlier in the syscall, even if the key was concurrently added between the dentry lookup and ->create(). See patch 1 for a more detailed explanation. Patch 1 introduces a helper function required for the fix. Patches 2-4 fix the bug on ext4, f2fs, and ubifs. Patch 5 is a cleanup. This fixes xfstest generic/595 on ubifs, but that test was hitting this bug only accidentally. I've also written a new xfstest which reproduces this bug on both ext4 and ubifs.
