[PATCH 1/2] ecryptfs: Improve metatdata read failure logging

From: Tim Gardner
Date: Wed Jan 11 2012 - 12:01:30 EST


There are 3 read failure cases in ecryptfs_read_metadata(), but only 2
of them are uniquely noted by kernel log messages. This patch
identifies and logs each read failure case. It also correctly interprets
a negative return value from ecryptfs_read_lower().

Removes unnecessary variable initialization.
