Yes, testing by d_unhashed() is best, I think.
But all inode attributes are maintained by ecryptfs_interpose(), so you
don't need to handle them.

And I found another bug in ecryptfs_link().
Here is a patch including that.


J. R. Okajima

----------------------------------------------------------------------
refine ecryptfs_link()

ecryptfs_link() doesn't need to,,,
- copy i_nlink and i_size for the target inode since they are already
  handled by ecryptfs_interpose(). (I don't know why i_size was
  necessary)
- maintain dir attributes based upon the lower dir, instead of
  lower_new_dentry. (another bug)
- several d_drop()s. do it only when the lower_new_dentry is d_drop()ed
  by the lower fs or vfs_link() failed.
- testing lower_new_dentry->d_inode after vfs_link() succeeded.
