eCryptfs: Allow 2 scatterlist entries for encrypted filenames
The buffers allocated while encrypting and decrypting long filenames can
sometimes straddle two pages. In this situation, virt_to_scatterlist()
will return -ENOMEM, causing the operation to fail and the user will get
scary error messages in their logs:
kernel: ecryptfs_write_tag_70_packet: Internal error whilst attempting
to convert filename memory to scatterlist; expected rc = 1; got rc =
[-12]. block_aligned_filename_size = [272]
kernel: ecryptfs_encrypt_filename: Error attempting to generate tag 70
packet; rc = [-12]
kernel: ecryptfs_encrypt_and_encode_filename: Error attempting to
encrypt filename; rc = [-12]
kernel: ecryptfs_lookup: Error attempting to encrypt and encode
filename; rc = [-12]
The solution is to allow up to 2 scatterlist entries to be used.
