  eCryptfs: Copy up attributes of the lower target inode after rename (2012-09-14 09:36:03 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixes a regression, introduced in 3.6-rc1, when a file is closed before its
  shared memory mapping is dirtied and unmapped. The lower file was being
  released when the eCryptfs file was closed and the dirtied pages could not be
  written out.
- Adds a call to the lower filesystem's ->flush() from ecryptfs_flush().
- Fixes a regression, introduced in 2.6.39, when a file is renamed on top of
  another file. The target file's inode was not being evicted and the space
  taken by the file was not reclaimed until eCryptfs was unmounted.

----------------------------------------------------------------
