[PATCH 7/7] ecryptfs: call notify_change from truncate_upper

Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]> Tue, 7 Apr 2026 16:02:43 +0200
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.ecryptfs,org.kernel.vger.linux-fsdevel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Keep all the truncation logic in one place by also moving the call to
notify_change into truncate_upper.  Rename the resulting function to
__ecryptfs_truncate as it deals with both the lower and upper inodes.

 /**
- * truncate_upper

  * @dentry: The ecryptfs layer dentry
  * @new_size: New upper file size.
  * @lower_ia: Address of the lower inode's attributes
  *
- * Function to handle truncations modifying the size of the file. Note
- * that the file sizes are interpolated. When expanding, we are simply
- * writing strings of 0's out. When truncating, we truncate the upper
- * inode and update the lower_ia according to the page index
- * interpolations. If ATTR_SIZE is set in lower_ia->ia_valid upon return,
- * the caller must use lower_ia in a call to notify_change() to perform
- * the truncation of the lower inode.
