Description Swâmi Petaramesh 2014-12-17 10:08:43 UTC 
Hello,

I'm reporting a bug that I've been encoutering _very_ frequently for more than a year on several different machines (at least 4) using different distros (Ubuntu 13.10, 14.04, 14.10 ; Mint 21, Fedora FC20 & FC21 ; Arch Linux) with kernels from at least 3.12 to 3.17.

This bug is well reproductible and causes a kernel BUG in fs/namei.c when saving a text file ONLY with KDE's "kate" or "kwrite" editors.

Reproduction : Take notes during a meeting using kate in KDE, in the configuration reported below. Save file every couple of minutes. You'll get kate to freeze and kernel to BUG before the meeting ends.

The bug ALWAYS cause the file to be actually "properly saved", but kate or kwrite (and dolphin as well) completely frozen, needing a machine reboot to get things properly on their feet again.

All machines on which this occurred, besides hardware, distro and kernel versions, have the exact same setup :

- an ecryptfs encrypted filesystem ;
- over BTRFS ;
- over a LUKS-encrypted LVM.

(Please don't ask. There's a reason ;-)

All machines have an SSD (different brands, models, sizes...), but I'm not sure whether this is relevant or not.

I report this bug both to KDE, ecryptfs, BTRFS / kernel teams.

For sure ecryptfs has to do with this, but WHY does this happen *only* when saving text files in kate/kwrite ? Maybe the underlying BTRFS has something to do with this as well ?

TIA for any help. / Best regards.

This is a semi-automated bugzilla cleanup, report is against an old kernel version. If the problem still happens, please open a new bug. Thanks.
