+ * fscrypt_symlink_getattr() - set the correct st_size for encrypted symlinks
+ * @path: the path for the encrypted symlink being queried
+ * @stat: the struct being filled with the symlink's attributes
+ *
+ * Override st_size of encrypted symlinks to be the length of the decrypted
+ * symlink target (or the no-key encoded symlink target, if the key is
+ * unavailable) rather than the length of the encrypted symlink target.  This is
+ * necessary for st_size to match the symlink target that userspace actually
+ * sees.  POSIX requires this, and some userspace programs depend on it.
+ *
+ * This requires reading the symlink target from disk if needed, setting up the
+ * inode's encryption key if possible, and then decrypting or encoding the
+ * symlink target.  This makes lstat() more heavyweight than is normally the
+ * case.  However, decrypted symlink targets will be cached in ->i_link, so
+ * usually the symlink won't have to be read and decrypted again later if/when
+ * it is actually followed, readlink() is called, or lstat() is called again.
+ *
+ * Return: 0 on success, -errno on failure
