The problem is in fs/ecryptfs/mmap.c

The first patch is the important one but because of some function name
cleaning in the second patch it doesn't apply cleanly. The second patch
listed has much wider ranging changes and in my opinion shouldn't be
applied. Thankfully the changes to the ecryptfs files are tiny so I did
them by hand and attached a patch that combines all needed changes to
fix this bug.

The attached patch is probably not the right format. Sorry about that
:-) but i thought it would be better than nothing.

I think the patch can be applied without the need to bump the ABI.
