eCryptfs is in "Odd Fixes" status.  See the thread
https://lore.kernel.org/ecryptfs/ZB4nYykRg6UwZ0cj@sequoia/T/#u

I would suggest that if Tyler is not responding, that Christian or Al take these
patches through the VFS tree instead.

FWIW, I took a quick look at these three patches, and all look correct.  I'm not
sure I want to give a formal R-b, as I don't want people to start bothering me
about eCryptfs stuff because they saw my name on it :-)
