Does this latest patch address all the cases of signals interrupting ecryptfs operations? I don't know enough about ecryptfs to know whether this metadata problem is the only place the issue hits.

I've started seeing problems where I get

    ecryptfs_decrypt_page: Error attempting to read lower page; rc = [-4]
    ecryptfs_write_begin: Error decrypting page at index [15315]; rc = [-4]

in the kernel log, and then later tasks hang in sync_page called from truncate_inode_pages from ecryptfs_evict_inode.
