3.16.60-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Howells dhowells@redhat.com
commit 378831e4daec75fbba6d3612bcf3b4dd00ddbf08 upstream.
Doing faccessat("/afs/some/directory", 0) triggers a BUG in the permissions check code.
Fix this by just removing the BUG section. If no permissions are asked for, just return okay if the file exists.
Also:
(1) Split up the directory check so that it has separate if-statements rather than if-else-if (e.g. checking for MAY_EXEC shouldn't skip the check for MAY_READ and MAY_WRITE).
(2) Check for MAY_CHDIR as MAY_EXEC.
Without the main fix, the following BUG may occur:
kernel BUG at fs/afs/security.c:386! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI ... RIP: 0010:afs_permission+0x19d/0x1a0 [kafs] ... Call Trace: ? inode_permission+0xbe/0x180 ? do_faccessat+0xdc/0x270 ? do_syscall_64+0x60/0x1f0 ? entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe
