[PATCH] ecryptfs: fix fsx data corruption problems

[Eric Sandeen]

ecryptfs in 2.6.24-rc3 wasn't surviving fsx for me at all,
dying after 4 ops.  Generally, encountering problems with stale
data and improperly zeroed pages.  An extending truncate + write
for example would expose stale data.

With the changes below I got to a million ops and beyond with all
mmap ops disabled - mmap still needs work.  (A version of this
patch on a RHEL5 kernel ran for over 110 million fsx ops)

I added a few comments as well, to the best of my understanding
as I read through the code.
