In an encrypted directory, a regular dentry (one that doesn't have the no-key name flag) can only be created if the directory's encryption key is available. Therefore the calls to fscrypt_require_key() in __fscrypt_prepare_link() and __fscrypt_prepare_rename() are unnecessary, as these functions already check that the dentries they're given aren't no-key names. Remove these unnecessary calls to fscrypt_require_key(). Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201118075609.120337-6-ebiggers@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
