Public bug reported:
Natty SRU:
SRU justification:
Impact:
ecryptfs_write() does not detect a pending fatal signal which means
write operations cannot be interrupted which is problematic when
truncating a file to several GB as one has to wait for this operation
to complete.
Fix:
Upstream commit 5e6f0d769017cc49207ef56996e42363ec26c1f0
Testcase:
Truncating a non-existent file to several GB and sending it
SIGINT will not respond until complete which can take a long
time on a slow device. With this fix, SIGINT is far more
responsive as expected.
