Subject: Re:Re: [PATCH] eCryptfs: infinite loop bug



Hi,
  Thanks Cong Wang for the kind reminding regarding the patch format.
  We did notice that the total_remaining_zeroes need be revised as well, 
and the start_offset_in_page, num_bytes need not be revised (always smaller 
than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, even the huge page size is supported, 
the 4G page size is not present in the current world?)
but we forget to include the revision for total_remaining_zeroes, so here comes the patch.

Cheers,
Li Wang
