ecryptfs: use vfs_get_link() Here again we are copying form one buffer to another, while jumping through hoops to make kernel memory look like userspace memory. For no good reason, since vfs_get_link() provides exactly what is needed. As a bonus, now the security hook for readlink is also called on the underlying inode. Note: this can be called from link-following context. But this is okay: - not in RCU mode - commit e54ad7f1ee26 ("proc: prevent stacking filesystems on top") - ecryptfs is *reading* the underlying symlink not following it, so the right security hook is being called Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com> Cc: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@canonical.com>
