      eCryptfs: Force RO mount when encrypted view is enabled · 332b122d
      Tyler Hicks authored 
      The ecryptfs_encrypted_view mount option greatly changes the
functionality of an eCryptfs mount. Instead of encrypting and decrypting
lower files, it provides a unified view of the encrypted files in the
lower filesystem. The presence of the ecryptfs_encrypted_view mount
option is intended to force a read-only mount and modifying files is not
supported when the feature is in use. See the following commit for more
information:

 [PATCH] eCryptfs: Encrypted passthrough

This patch forces the mount to be read-only when the
ecryptfs_encrypted_view mount option is specified by setting the
MS_RDONLY flag on the superblock. Additionally, this patch removes some
broken logic in ecryptfs_open() that attempted to prevent modifications
of files when the encrypted view feature was in use. The check in
ecryptfs_open() was not sufficient to prevent file modifications using
system calls that do not operate on a file descriptor.

      Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Here are the target updates for v3.18-rc2 code.  These where
  originally destined for -rc1, but due to the combination of travel
  last week for KVM Forum and my mistake of taking the three week merge
  window literally, the pull request slipped..  Apologies for that.

  Things where reasonably quiet this round.  The highlights include:

   - New userspace backend driver (target_core_user.ko) by Shaohua Li
     and Andy Grover
   - A number of cleanups in target, iscsi-taret and qla_target code
     from Joern Engel
   - Fix an OOPs related to queue full handling with CHECK_CONDITION
     status from Quinn Tran
   - Fix to disable TX completion interrupt coalescing in iser-target,
     that was causing problems on some hardware
   - Fix for PR APTPL metadata handling with demo-mode ACLs

  I'm most excited about the new backend driver that uses UIO + shared
  memory ring to dispatch I/O and control commands into user-space.
  This was probably the most requested feature by users over the last
  couple of years, and opens up a new area of development + porting of
  existing user-space storage applications to LIO.  Thanks to Shaohua +
  Andy for making this happen.

  Also another honorable mention, a new Xen PV SCSI driver was merged
  via the xen/tip.git tree recently, which puts us now at 10 target
  drivers in upstream! Thanks to David Vrabel + Juergen Gross for their
  work to get this code merged"

 "A framework for Mailbox controllers and clients have been cooking for
  more than a year now.

  Everybody in the CC list had been copied on patchset revisions and
  most of them have made sounds of approval, though just one concrete
  Reviewed-by.  The patchset has also been in linux-next for a couple of
  weeks now and no conflict has been reported.  The framework has the
  backing of at least 5 platforms, though I can't say if/when they
  upstream their drivers (some businesses have 'changed')"
