SRU Justification
Impact: Soft linked file names can produce alarming warnings in dmesg (and are not actually encrypted, thereby leaking information)
Patch: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-jaunty.git;a=commit;h=a63b7d7beeaa1f8f33369cab6419831fa8991e40
Patch Description: When using filename encryption with eCryptfs, the value of the symlink in the lower filesystem is encrypted and stored as a Tag 70 packet. This results in a longer symlink target than if the target value wasn't encrypted.
Test Case: dmesg flood stops
