3.19.8-ckt16 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit c80567c82ae4814a41287618e315a60ecf513be6 upstream.
... into returning a positive to path_openat(), which would interpret that
as "symlink had been encountered" and proceed to corrupt memory, etc.
It can only happen due to a bug in some ->open() instance or in some LSM
hook, etc., so we report any such event *and* make sure it doesn't trick
us into further unpleasantness.
