Thanks for the info. I manually changed those two calls to
ecryptfs_lookup_one_lower in inode.c back to lookup_one_len and it fixed
the problem. Don't you just love patches that are released for bugs that
don't exist any more just in case the patch might be useful sometime in
the future? :)

But could this commit have resulted in the data loss that Kalle Valo
reported? It seems to be just related to the file
name/permissions/ownerships/size information and it made writing to (and
reading of) files with encrypted filenames impossible.
