    fscrypt: use ENOKEY when file cannot be created w/o key · 54475f53
    Eric Biggers authored
    As part of an effort to clean up fscrypt-related error codes, make
    attempting to create a file in an encrypted directory that hasn't been
    "unlocked" fail with ENOKEY.  Previously, several error codes were used
    for this case, including ENOENT, EACCES, and EPERM, and they were not
    consistent between and within filesystems.  ENOKEY is a better choice
    because it expresses that the failure is due to lacking the encryption
    key.  It also matches the error code returned when trying to open an
    encrypted regular file without the key.
    
    I am not aware of any users who might be relying on the previous
    inconsistent error codes, which were never documented anywhere.
    
    This failure case will be exercised by an xfstest.
