Subject: [PATCH] eCryptfs: Load each file decryption key only once
Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2007 20:05:30 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1198289130.8560.14.camel@buster2> (raw)

eCryptfs: Load each file decryption key only once

There is no need to keep re-setting the same key for any given
eCryptfs inode. This patch optimizes the use of the crypto API and
helps performance a bit.
