Subject: [PATCH 7/7] ecryptfs: keep the lower iattr contained in truncate_upper
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 08:06:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408060719.714317-8-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260408060719.714317-1-hch@lst.de>
Currently the two callers of truncate_upper handle passing information
very differently. ecryptfs_truncate passes a zeroed lower_ia and expects
truncate_upper to fill it in from the upper ia created just for that,
while ecryptfs_setattr passes a fully initialized lower_ia copied from
the upper one. Both of them then call notify_change on the lower_ia.
Switch to only passing the upper ia, and derive the lower ia from it
inside truncate_upper, and call notify_change inside the function itself.
Because the old name is misleading now, rename the resulting function to
__ecryptfs_truncate as it deals with both the lower and upper inodes.
