From d3e49afbb66109613c3474f2273f5830ac2dcb09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Halcrow <mhalcrow@us.ibm.com> Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 22:46:02 -0700 Subject: eCryptfs: remove unnecessary page decrypt call 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. Eric said: fsx w/ mmap dies quickly ( < 100 ops) without this, and survives nicely (to millions of ops+) with it in place.
