This patch fixes to add null character at the end of encrypted filename
Since encryption functionality in ext4/f2fs was exported to vfs as fscrypot
module, more filesystems can use it, I'm not sure, maybe other fs will traverse
encrypted filename directly.

So, could we set this null character in fname_encrypt in advance in order to
avoid hitting random characters behind target filename when traversing it?

Thanks,

in fname_encrypt, in order to avoid incorrectly traversing random data
located after target filename. The call stack is as below:

- f2fs_add_link
 - __f2fs_add_link
  - fscrypt_setup_filename
   - fscrypt_fname_alloc_buffer		allocate buffer for @fname
   - fname_encrypt			didn't set null character for @fname
  - f2fs_add_regular_entry		init qstr with @fname
   - init_inode_metadata
    - f2fs_init_security
     - security_inode_init_security
      - selinux_inode_init_security
       - selinux_determine_inode_label
        - security_transition_sid
	 - security_compute_sid
	  - filename_compute_type
	   - hashtab_search
	    - filenametr_hash		traverse @fname as one which has null character
The problem is not in fname_encrypt(), but rather that
security_inode_init_security() should be given the _unencrypted_
filename.

In ext4 security_inode_init_security() is called with the qstr from
the dentry, not the encrypted qstr --- in fact we call
security_inode_init_security before we call fname_encrypt.

SELinux needs the unencrypted filename in order to decide which
SELinux rules / labels should apply.
You're right, I missed this mistake. So actually, this is a bug of f2fs.
Let me figure out the fixing patch.

Thanks for your review! :)

Thanks,
