Upon file deletion, zero out all fields in ext4_dir_entry2 besides rec_len. In case sensitive data is stored in filenames, this ensures no potentially sensitive data is left in the directory entry upon deletion. Also, wipe these fields upon moving a directory entry during the conversion to an htree and when splitting htree nodes. The data wiped may still exist in the journal, but there are future commits planned to address this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
