Subject: [PATCH] ext4: only use fscrypt_zeroout_range() on regular files
Date: Thu, 26 Dec 2019 10:10:22 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191226161022.53490-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

fscrypt_zeroout_range() is only for encrypted regular files, not for
encrypted directories or symlinks.

Fortunately, currently it seems it's never called on non-regular files.
But to be safe ext4 should explicitly check S_ISREG() before calling it.
