| H A D | namei.c | c80567c8 Sat Feb 27 18:17:33 CST 2016 Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> do_last(): don't let a bogus return value from ->open() et.al. to confuse us
... 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.
