2006-10-31[PATCH] eCryptfs: Consolidate lower dentry_open'sMichael Halcrow
Opens on lower dentry objects happen in several places in eCryptfs, and they all involve the same steps (dget, mntget, dentry_open). This patch consolidates the lower open events into a single function call.

2006-10-04[PATCH] ecryptfs: fs/Makefile and fs/KconfigMichael Halcrow
eCryptfs is a stacked cryptographic filesystem for Linux. It is derived from Erez Zadok's Cryptfs, implemented through the FiST framework for generating stacked filesystems. eCryptfs extends Cryptfs to provide advanced key management and policy features. eCryptfs stores cryptographic metadata in the header of each file written, so that encrypted files can be copied between hosts; the file will be decryptable with the proper key, and there is no need to keep track of any additional information aside from what is already in the encrypted file itself.
