From 31956502dd2c9432523d01373a9dc0e5931cfa1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Thu, 7 May 2015 20:37:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] namei: make may_follow_link() safe in RCU mode We *can't* call that audit garbage in RCU mode - it's doing a weird mix of allocations (GFP_NOFS, immediately followed by GFP_KERNEL) and I'm not touching that... thing again. So if this security sclero^Whardening feature gets triggered when we are in RCU mode, tough - we'll fail with -ECHILD and have everything restarted in non-RCU mode. Only to hit the same test and fail, this time with EACCES and with (oh, rapture) an audit spew produced. Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- Reading git-format-patch failed
