Hi Tyler!
I originally thought that truncating to a larger size can't lead to
serious inconsistencies. And that may still be true. In theory,
the worst that can happen if the lower inode changes are journaled
but the new ecryptfs header not sync'ed to disk yet, is the lower
file being larger than is actually needed for ecryptfs file
(since the ecryptfs header would contain the smaller pre-truncate
length).
However, in further experiments, I ran into yet another situation
when a combination of truncating up + writing + immediately
unlinking this file can lead to the lower file containing only
a completely zeroed-out ecryptfs header. So, open()-in ecryptfs
file then fails in marker check. I'm not sure yet if it is related
to the truncate issue we deal with here. Let me first further check
what's going on there.
