Subject: [PATCH] eCryptfs: Remove unnecessary page decrypt call
Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 17:08:17 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080529220817.GF7450@halcrowt61p.austin.ibm.com> (raw)

The page decrypt calls in ecryptfs_write() are both pointless and
buggy. Pointless because ecryptfs_get_locked_page() has already
brought the page up to date, and buggy because prior mmap writes will
just be blown away by the decrypt call.

This patch also removes the declaration of a now-nonexistent function
ecryptfs_write_zeros().

Thanks to Eric Sandeen and David Kleikamp for helping to track this
down.
