commit a17d5232de7b53d34229de79ec22f4bb04adb7e4 upstream.

The result from readlink is being used to index into the link name
buffer without checking whether it is a valid length. If readlink
returns an error this will fault or cause memory corruption.

<title>eCryptfs: Allocate up to two scatterlists for crypto ops on keys</title>

commit ac97b9f9a2d0b83488e0bbcb8517b229d5c9b142 upstream.

I have received some reports of out-of-memory errors on some older AMD
architectures.  These errors are what I would expect to see if
crypt_stat-&gt;key were split between two separate pages.  eCryptfs should
not assume that any of the memory sent through virt_to_scatterlist() is
all contained in a single page, and so this patch allocates two
scatterlist structs instead of one when processing keys.  I have received
confirmation from one person affected by this bug that this patch resolves
the issue for him, and so I am submitting it for inclusion in a future
stable release.

Note that virt_to_scatterlist() runs sg_init_table() on the scatterlist
structs passed to it, so the calls to sg_init_table() in
decrypt_passphrase_encrypted_session_key() are redundant.

<title>eCryptfs: use page_alloc not kmalloc to get a page of memory</title>

<content type='text'>
With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption
when testing eCryptfs.  The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was
doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice
page-aligned chunk of memory.  But at least with SLUB debugging on, this
is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not
necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc.

My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2
different multi-megabyte files.  With this change I no longer see the
corruption.

Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are
themselves multiplexeres.  Nobody uses this "feature", nor does anybody uses
passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.

Non-trivial places are:
	arch/powerpc/mm/init_64.c
	arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c

This is flag day, yes.

<title>eCryptfs: Make all persistent file opens delayed</title>

There is no good reason to immediately open the lower file, and that can
cause problems with files that the user does not intend to immediately
open, such as device nodes.

This patch removes the persistent file open from the interpose step and
pushes that to the locations where eCryptfs really does need the lower
persistent file, such as just before reading or writing the metadata
stored in the lower file header.

Two functions are jumping to out_dput when they should just be jumping to
out on error paths.  This patch also fixes these.

When creating device nodes, eCryptfs needs to delay actually opening the lower
persistent file until an application tries to open.  Device handles may not be
backed by anything when they first come into existence.
