From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@google.com Date: Thu, 1 Jul 2021 23:53:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: report correct st_size for encrypted symlinks
The stat() family of syscalls report the wrong size for encrypted symlinks, which has caused breakage in several userspace programs.
Fix this by calling fscrypt_symlink_getattr() after ext4_getattr() for encrypted symlinks. This function computes the correct size by reading and decrypting the symlink target (if it's not already cached).
For more details, see the commit which added fscrypt_symlink_getattr().
