    f2fs: fix to avoid reading out encrypted data in page cache · 78682f79
    Chao Yu authored
    For encrypted inode, if user overwrites data of the inode, f2fs will read
    encrypted data into page cache, and then do the decryption.
    
    However reader can race with overwriter, and it will see encrypted data
    which has not been decrypted by overwriter yet. Fix it by moving decrypting
    work to background and keep page non-uptodated until data is decrypted.
