This patch series improves dentry revalidation in fscrypt. To recap, fscrypt (aka ext4/f2fs/ubifs encryption) encrypts both file contents and file names in individual directory trees. A single filesystem can contain many encrypted directory trees using many different encryption keys. Major users of fscrypt require the ability to delete encrypted files when their encryption key is unavailable, e.g. when the system needs to delete a removed user's home directory or free up space from a logged-out user's cache directory. Therefore fscrypt allows listing, looking up, and deleting files in encrypted directories via encoded ciphertext names, but only before the key is added. After the key is added, the ciphertext names are invalidated via ->d_revalidate() and plaintext names are shown instead. fscrypt isn't a stacked filesystem, and it's explicitly for storage encryption, not OS-level access control. Thus, whether each directory inode has its key or not is a global state, not per-process. Also, the inode keeps its key until it's evicted from the inode cache. So, plaintext names shouldn't ever get invalidated by ->d_revalidate(). This patch series makes the following improvements: - Only assign ->d_revalidate() to ciphertext filenames, thus allowing overlayfs to use an fscrypt-encrypted upperdir in some cases. (Previous discussion: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/13/255) - Fix cases where plaintext filenames would wrongly be invalidated, including a real-world bug recently reported on Chromium OS. - Fix cases where ciphertext filenames would wrongly not be invalidated. - Allow rcu-walk lookups in encrypted directories with the key, which improves performance. (Previous attempt: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10594133/) - Fix cases where rename() and link() could succeed on ciphertext names.
