    fscrypt: calculate NUL-padding length in one place only · 50c961de
    Eric Biggers authored
    Currently, when encrypting a filename (either a real filename or a
    symlink target) we calculate the amount of NUL-padding twice: once
    before encryption and once during encryption in fname_encrypt().  It is
    needed before encryption to allocate the needed buffer size as well as
    calculate the size the symlink target will take up on-disk before
    creating the symlink inode.  Calculating the size during encryption as
    well is redundant.
    
    Remove this redundancy by always calculating the exact size beforehand,
    and making fname_encrypt() just add as much NUL padding as is needed to
    fill the output buffer.
