Tested Lucid -proposed: Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-45-server #100-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 14 11:02:27 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

tested by:

1. mount using:
   mount -t ecryptfs /lower /upper
2. umount
3. add the mount password into the kernel keyring using ecryptfs-add-passphrase
4. try to remount using the sig from step 1 and the camellia cipher:

mount -it ecryptfs /lower /upper -o ecryptfs_sig=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,ecryptfs_cipher=camellia

without the fix /upper is mounted and then the kernel complains when we write a file to /upper. With the fix, the kernel does not mount (as expected) and the kernel error message appears:

[ 120.784003] ecryptfs_parse_options: eCryptfs doesn't support cipher: camellia

..so this passes the test for Lucid -proposed.
