There is no reason for the crypt_stat->key value for any given
eCryptfs inode to change during the life of the inode, and each
crypt_stat gets its own crypto transform, so I do not see a problem
with Trevor's suggestion. It will save unnecessary calls to
crypto_blkcipher_setkey(), and I expect it will speed things up a
little.
I include an updated patch against 2.6.24-rc7.
