It's possible to create a duplicate filename in an encrypted directory by creating a file concurrently with adding the encryption key. Specifically, sys_open(O_CREAT) (or sys_mkdir(), sys_mknod(), or sys_symlink()) can lookup the target filename while the directory's encryption key hasn't been added yet, resulting in a negative no-key dentry. The VFS then calls ->create() (or ->mkdir(), ->mknod(), or ->symlink()) because the dentry is negative. Normally, ->create() would return -ENOKEY due to the directory's key being unavailable. However, if the key was added between the dentry lookup and ->create(), then the filesystem will go ahead and try to create the file. If the target filename happens to already exist as a normal name (not a no-key name), a duplicate filename may be added to the directory. In order to fix this, we need to fix the filesystems to prevent ->create(), ->mkdir(), ->mknod(), and ->symlink() on no-key names. (->rename() and ->link() need it too, but those are already handled correctly by fscrypt_prepare_rename() and fscrypt_prepare_link().) In preparation for this, add a helper function fscrypt_is_nokey_name() that filesystems can use to do this check. Use this helper function for the existing checks that fs/crypto/ does for rename and link.

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.
