[ Upstream commit 378831e4daec75fbba6d3612bcf3b4dd00ddbf08 ]
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]

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
