Hi Linus - Here is a fix for ecryptfs_statfs(). It had simply deferred
to the lower filesystem's statfs(), but the filename encryption feature
significantly reduces the max filename length. There are a few
applications that have trouble with the filename length limitation and I
think exposing the maximum length in statfs() calls is the first step in
improving the situation.
I'm a little torn on whether the fix needs to go in so late in the
cycle, but I feel it is low risk. If you disagree, I have no problem
waiting for 3.3.
The other patch is an update to Dustin's email address in MAINTAINERS.
