Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2020 16:11:24 -0700 From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...nel.org> To: stable@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-fscrypt@...r.kernel.org, linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, linux-f2fs-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net, Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> Subject: [PATCH 4.9 2/2] fscrypt: use EEXIST when file already uses different policy From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com> commit 8488cd96ff88966ccb076e4f3654f59d84ba686d upstream. As part of an effort to clean up fscrypt-related error codes, make FS_IOC_SET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY fail with EEXIST when the file already uses a different encryption policy. This is more descriptive than EINVAL, which was ambiguous with some of the other error cases. I am not aware of any users who might be relying on the previous error code of EINVAL, which was never documented anywhere. This failure case will be exercised by an xfstest.
