[PATCH 1/3] eCryptfs: Write bug for non-ecryptfs file

[Li Wang]

The following code segment in ecryptfs_write_begin(mmap.c) is problematic,

1  if (!PageUptodate(page)) {
2	if (!(crypt_stat->flags & ECRYPTFS_ENCRYPTED)) {
3		...
4	} else if(crypt_stat->flags & ECRYPTFS_VIEW_AS_ENCRYPTED) {
5		...
6	} else {
7		if (prev_page_end_size >= i_size_read(page->mapping->host)) {
8			zero_user(page, 0, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE);
9		}
10		...
11	}
12	...
13      /* Writing to a new page, and creating a small hole from start
14       * of page? Zero it out. */
15	if ((i_size_read(mapping->host)==prev_page_end_size) && (pos!=0))
16		zero_user(page, 0, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE);

1 The check on 'pos!=0' for the IF statement in line 15 implies that while
  pos==0, the page needs not be zeroed. Unfortunately, that is not true,
  suppose an empty non-ecryptfs file has been created beforehand, currently the
  writter want to write at pos==0 with a length of m bytes, m<PAGE_CACHE_SIZE,
  now the page will not be zeroed, and set to Uptodate! Then the data within
  (m,PAGE_CACHE_SIZE) read by any reader will be undefined.
2 Even remove 'pos!=0', there is further more a case which does not be taken
  into account,
  if a file satisfies (i_size_read(mapping->host) > prev_page_end_size), and is
  non-ecryptfs file, then the page is not zeroed, but the data within
  (i_size_read(mapping->host), (prev_page_end_size+1)<<PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT) need
  be zeroed as well.
3 For ecryptfs file, if satisfies (prev_page_end_size == i_size_read(page->
  mapping->host) && pos!=0, this page will be double zeroed.

This patch solves the above problem.
