commit 64fcbb6158ecc684d84c64424830a9c37c77c5b9 upstream. If someone attempts to access YFS-related xattrs (e.g. afs.yfs.acl) on a file on a non-YFS AFS server (such as OpenAFS), then the kernel will jump to a NULL function pointer because the afs_fetch_acl_operation descriptor doesn't point to a function for issuing an operation on a non-YFS server[1]. Fix this by making afs_wait_for_operation() check that the issue_afs_rpc method is set before jumping to it and setting -ENOTSUPP if not. This fix also covers other potential operations that also only exist on YFS servers. afs_xattr_get/set_yfs() then need to translate -ENOTSUPP to -ENODATA as the former error is internal to the kernel. The bug shows up as an oops like the following: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 [...] Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at RIP 0xffffffffffffffd6.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
