[fscrypt][RFC PATCH] ceph: don't allow changing layout on encrypted files/directories

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Fri Aug 13 2021 - 09:03:09 EST


Encryption is currently only supported on files/directories with layouts
where stripe_count=1. Forbid changing layouts when encryption is involved.

Hi!

While continuing looking into fscrypt, I realized we're not yet forbidding
different layouts on encrypted files. This patch tries to do just that.

Regarding the setxattr, I've also made a change [1] to the MDS code so that it
also prevents layouts to be changed. This should make the changes to
ceph_sync_setxattr() redundant, but in practice it doesn't because if we encrypt
a directory and immediately after that we change that directory layout, the MDS
wouldn't yet have received the fscrypt_auth for that inode. So... yeah, an
alternative would be to propagate the fscrypt context immediately after
encrypting a directory.
