Re: [PATCH 1/2] ext4: wipe filename upon file deletion

Zero out filename field when file is deleted. Also, add mount option
nowipe_filename to disable this filename wipeout if desired.
I would personally be against "wipe out entries on delete" as the default
behavior.  I think most users would prefer that their data is maximally
recoverable, rather than the minimal security benefit of erasing deleted
content by default.

I think that Darrick made a good point that using the EXT4_SECRM_FL on
the inode gives users a good option to enable/disable this on a per
file or directory basis.
