      eCryptfs: fix lookup error for special files · df068464
      Ryusuke Konishi authored
      When ecryptfs_lookup() is called against special files, eCryptfs generates
      the following errors because it tries to treat them like regular eCryptfs
      files.
      
      Error opening lower file for lower_dentry [0xffff810233a6f150], lower_mnt [0xffff810235bb4c80], and flags [0x8000]
      Error opening lower_file to read header region
      Error attempting to read the [user.ecryptfs] xattr from the lower file; return value = [-95]
      Valid metadata not found in header region or xattr region; treating file as unencrypted
      
      For instance, the problem can be reproduced by the steps below.
      
        # mkdir /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
        # mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
        # mknod /mnt/crypt/c0 c 0 0
        # umount /mnt/crypt
        # mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
        # ls -l /mnt/crypt
      
      This patch fixes it by adding a check similar to directories and
      symlinks.
