Subject: ecryptfs: Improve metadata read failure logging
From: Tim Gardner <[email protected]>
commit 30373dc0c87ffef68d5628e77d56ffb1fa22e1ee upstream.
Print inode on metadata read failure. The only real
way of dealing with metadata read failures is to delete
the underlying file system file. Having the inode
allows one to 'find . -inum INODE`.
