From: Jeffrey Mitchell <jeffrey.mitchell@starlab.io> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.121 commit af26bfb04a17639b2bb1e9cd6912b4dceefa5e58 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5L6CQ Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit 8aa921a95335d0a8c8e2be35a44467e7c91ec3e4 upstream. When XFS creates a new symlink, it writes its size to disk but not to the VFS inode. This causes i_size_read() to return 0 for that symlink until it is re-read from disk, for example when the system is rebooted. I found this inconsistency while protecting directories with eCryptFS. The command "stat path/to/symlink/in/ecryptfs" will report "Size: 0" if the symlink was created after the last reboot on an XFS root.
