afs: Fix characters allowed into cell names
commit a45ea48e2bcd92c1f678b794f488ca0bda9835b8 upstream. The afs filesystem needs to prohibit certain characters from cell names, such as '/', as these are used to form filenames in procfs, leading to the following warning being generated: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3489 at fs/proc/generic.c:178 Fix afs_alloc_cell() to disallow nonprintable characters, '/', '@' and names that begin with a dot. Remove the check for "@cell" as that is then redundant. This can be tested by running: echo add foo/.bar 1.2.3.4 >/proc/fs/afs/cells Note that we will also need to deal with: - Names ending in ".invalid" shouldn't be passed to the DNS. - Names that contain non-valid domainname chars shouldn't be passed to the DNS. - DNS replies that say "your-dns-needs-immediate-attention.<gTLD>" and replies containing A records that say 127.0.53.53 should be considered invalid. [https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/name-collision-mitigation-01aug14-en.pdf] but these need to be dealt with by the kafs-client DNS program rather than the kernel.
