Revision 5f3ef64f4da1c587cdcfaaac72311225b7df094c authored by Tyler Hicks on 14 October 2009, 21:18:27 UTC, committed by Tyler Hicks on 20 January 2010, 04:32:07 UTC
When truncating inodes in the lower filesystem, eCryptfs directly
invoked vmtruncate(). As Christoph Hellwig pointed out, vmtruncate() is
a filesystem helper function, but filesystems may need to do more than
just a call to vmtruncate().

This patch moves the lower inode truncation out of ecryptfs_truncate()
and renames the function to truncate_upper().  truncate_upper() updates
an iattr for the lower inode to indicate if the lower inode needs to be
truncated upon return.  ecryptfs_setattr() then calls notify_change(),
using the updated iattr for the lower inode, to complete the truncation.

For eCryptfs functions needing to truncate, ecryptfs_truncate() is
reintroduced as a simple way to truncate the upper inode to a specified
size and then truncate the lower inode accordingly.
