Fix a bug where if userspace is writing to encrypted files while the FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY ioctl (introduced in v5.4) is running, dirty inodes could be evicted, causing writes could be lost or the filesystem to hang due to a use-after-free. This was encountered during real-world use, not just theoretical. Tested with the existing fscrypt xfstests, and with a new xfstest I wrote to reproduce this bug. This fix does expose an existing bug with '-o lazytime' that Ted is working on fixing, but this fix is more critical and needed anyway regardless of the lazytime fix. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQSacvsUNc7UX4ntmEPzXCl4vpKOKwUCXmk8HxQcZWJpZ2dlcnNA Z29vZ2xlLmNvbQAKCRDzXCl4vpKOK4YiAQC1RZyH4/mZ890Or6s8SzCgJTVmiLk9 ZTO/56XmLte6LAD+IBAExqDkkybmAF0rQ4kY1oL75f/e/nEs+50TXra9NQc= =s2KD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/fscrypt Pull fscrypt fix from Eric Biggers: "Fix a bug where if userspace is writing to encrypted files while the FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY ioctl (introduced in v5.4) is running, dirty inodes could be evicted, causing writes could be lost or the filesystem to hang due to a use-after-free.

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.
