Hi!

I started seeing fstest generic/123 failing in ceph fscrypt, when running it
with 'test_dummy_encryption'. This test is quite simple:

1. Creates a directory with write permissions for root only
2. Writes into a file in that directory
3. Uses 'su' to try to modify that file as a different user, and
gets -EPERM

All the test steps succeed, but the test fails to cleanup: 'rm -rf <dir>'
will fail with -ENOTEMPTY. 'strace' shows that calling unlinkat() to remove
the file got a -ENOENT and then -ENOTEMPTY for the directory.

This is because 'su' does a drop_caches ('su (874): drop_caches: 2' in
dmesg), and ceph's atomic open will do:

if (IS_ENCRYPTED(dir)) {
set_bit(CEPH_MDS_R_FSCRYPT_FILE, &req->r_req_flags);
if (!fscrypt_has_encryption_key(dir)) {
spin_lock(&dentry->d_lock);
dentry->d_flags |= DCACHE_NOKEY_NAME;
spin_unlock(&dentry->d_lock);
}
}

Although 'dir' has the encryption key available, fscrypt_has_encryption_key()
will return 'false' because fscrypt info isn't yet set after the cache
cleanup.

The first patch will add a new helper for the atomic_open that will force
the fscrypt info to be loaded into an inode that has been evicted recently
but for which the key is still available.

The second patch switches ceph atomic_open to use the new fscrypt helper.

Changes since v2:
- Make helper more generic and to be used both in lookup and atomic open
operations
- Modify ceph_lookup (patch 0002) and ceph_atomic_open (patch 0003) to use
the new helper

Changes since v1:
- Dropped IS_ENCRYPTED() from helper function because kerneldoc says
already that it applies to encrypted directories and, most importantly,
because it would introduce a different behaviour for
CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION and !CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION.
- Rephrased helper kerneldoc

Changes since initial RFC (after Eric's review):
- Added kerneldoc comments to the new fscrypt helper
- Dropped '__' from helper name (now fscrypt_prepare_atomic_open())
- Added IS_ENCRYPTED() check in helper
- DCACHE_NOKEY_NAME is not set if fscrypt_get_encryption_info() returns an
error
- Fixed helper for !CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION (now defined 'static inline')
This series looks good to me.

And I have run the test locally and worked well.

fscrypt: new helper function - fscrypt_prepare_lookup_partial()
Eric,

If possible I we can pick this together to ceph repo and need your ack
about this. Or you can pick it to the crypto repo then please feel free
to add:

Tested-by: Xiubo Li <xiubli@xxxxxxxxxx> and Reviewed-by: Xiubo Li
<xiubli@xxxxxxxxxx>
I would prefer the fscrypt helper to go through the fscrypt tree.

Sure. This also LGTM.

Thanks
