If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 64fcbb6158ecc684d84c64424830a9c37c77c5b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2021 10:26:45 +0000 Subject: afs: Fix accessing YFS xattrs on a non-YFS server From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> 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.
