Hey Thieu - Not a problem.
I'll need a proper commit message and signed-off-by line before I can
commit this.

Stack size is a problem with eCryptfs, but we also have the issue of
potential memory allocations in our writepage() path due to calling
vfs_write() on the lower file. I don't think we can allow reclaim from
kswapd.

Please make this entire comment block specific to eCryptfs instead of
something copied from XFS.
