Subject: [PATCH] AFS: Stop readlink() on AFS crashing because file not passed to afs_readpage()
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:09:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090827120906.14429.94498.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
kAFS crashes when asked to read a symbolic link because page_getlink() passes a
NULL file pointer to read_mapping_page(), but afs_readpage() expects a file
pointer from which to extract a key.
Modify afs_readpage() to request the appropriate key from the calling process's
keyrings if a file struct is not supplied with one attached.
