[PATCH] ecryptfs: lower root result must be adirectory

From: Dmitriy Monakhov
Date: Tue Feb 27 2007 - 23:12:09 EST


patch against lastest mm tree.

- Currently after path_lookup succeed we dot't have any guarantie what
it is DIR. This must be explicitly demanded.
- path_lookup can't return negative dentry, So inode check is useless.
