Thanks İsmail - I've tried quite a bit and have been unsuccessful in
reproducing these messages on my system.  If Dustin or İsmail can
provide me with an encrypted filename that triggers these messages, I
will fix the problem.

Currently, the best way to do this would be to single out which
plaintext filename is causing this, set some strange/unique permissions
on that file, then find a file in the lower mount point with those
permissions.  Hopefully we'll have a userspace tool to decrypt the
filenames soon.

Bug description:
Tim-

Please sync Jaunty's ecryptfs kernel module with Linus' upstream git tree.

There are some errors in dmesg that Tyler believes are fixed with the upstream code.  The messages on my system look like this:
[   46.330479] ecryptfs_parse_tag_70_packet: max_packet_size is [56]; real packet size is [51]
[   46.330486] ecryptfs_decode_and_decrypt_filename: Could not parse tag 70 packet from filename; copying through filename as-is

I'm attaching a patch from Tyler.

This is for spot-check review only!  I think it will be in our best interest for you to do the sync via git merging mechanisms.

Thanks,
:-Dustin
