Revision b59db43ad4434519feb338eacb01d77eb50825c5 authored by Tyler Hicks on 21 November 2011, 23:31:02 UTC, committed by Tyler Hicks on 23 November 2011, 21:39:38 UTC 
eCryptfs: Prevent file create race condition
 
The file creation path prematurely called d_instantiate() and
unlock_new_inode() before the eCryptfs inode info was fully
allocated and initialized and before the eCryptfs metadata was written
to the lower file.

This could result in race conditions in subsequent file and inode
operations leading to unexpected error conditions or a null pointer
dereference while attempting to use the unallocated memory.
