UBIFS stores a 32bit hash of every file, for traditional lookups by name this scheme is fine since UBIFS can first try to find the file by the hash of the filename and upon collisions it can walk through all entries with the same hash and do a string compare. When filesnames are encrypted fscrypto will ask the filesystem for a unique cookie, based on this cookie the filesystem has to be able to locate the target file again. With 32bit hashes this is impossible because the chance for collisions is very high. Do deal with that we store a 32bit cookie directly in the UBIFS directory entry node such that we get a 64bit cookie (32bit from filename hash and the dent cookie). For a lookup by hash UBIFS finds the entry by the first 32bit and then compares the dent cookie. If it does not match, it has to do a linear search of the whole directory and compares all dent cookies until the correct entry is found. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
