eCryptfs: Revert to a writethrough cache model
A change was made about a year ago to get eCryptfs to better utilize its page cache during writes. The idea was to do the page encryption operations during page writeback, rather than doing them when initially writing into the page cache, to reduce the number of page encryption operations during sequential writes. This meant that the encrypted page would only be written to the lower filesystem during page writeback, which was a change from how eCryptfs had previously wrote to the lower filesystem in ecryptfs_write_end(). The change caused a few eCryptfs-internal bugs that were shook out. Unfortunately, more grave side effects have been identified that will force changes outside of eCryptfs. Because the lower filesystem isn't consulted until page writeback, eCryptfs has no way to pass lower write errors (ENOSPC, mainly) back to userspace. Additionaly, it was reported that quotas could be bypassed because of the way eCryptfs may sometimes open the lower filesystem using a privileged kthread. It would be nice to resolve the latest issues, but it is best if the eCryptfs commits be reverted to the old behavior in the meantime.
