When an encrypted directory is listed without the key, the filesystem must show "no-key names" that uniquely identify directory entries, are at most 255 (NAME_MAX) bytes long, and don't contain '/' or '\0'. Currently, for short names the no-key name is the base64 encoding of the ciphertext filename, while for long names it's the base64 encoding of the ciphertext filename's dirhash and second-to-last 16-byte block. This format has the following problems: - Since it doesn't always include the dirhash, it's incompatible with directories that will use a secret-keyed dirhash over the plaintext filenames. In this case, the dirhash won't be computable from the ciphertext name without the key, so it instead must be retrieved from the directory entry and always included in the no-key name. Casefolded encrypted directories will use this type of dirhash. - It's ambiguous: it's possible to craft two filenames that map to the same no-key name, since the method used to abbreviate long filenames doesn't use a proper cryptographic hash function. Solve both these problems by switching to a new no-key name format that is the base64 encoding of a variable-length structure that contains the dirhash, up to 149 bytes of the ciphertext filename, and (if any bytes remain) the SHA-256 of the remaining bytes of the ciphertext filename. This ensures that each no-key name contains everything needed to find the directory entry again, contains only legal characters, doesn't exceed NAME_MAX, is unambiguous unless there's a SHA-256 collision, and that we only take the performance hit of SHA-256 on very long filenames. Note: this change does *not* address the existing issue where users can modify the 'dirhash' part of a no-key name and the filesystem may still accept the name.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
