From 332b122d39c9cbff8b799007a825d94b2e7c12f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tyler Hicks Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2014 15:51:55 -0500 Subject: eCryptfs: Force RO mount when encrypted view is enabled 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: e77a56d [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.
