Subject: [PATCH v4 19/21] afs: Fix premature cell exposure through /afs
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 10:08:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622090856.2746629-20-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260622090856.2746629-1-dhowells@redhat.com>

AFS cell records are prematurely exposured through the /afs dynamic root by
virtue of adding them immediately to the net->cells_dyn_ino IDR when the
cell is allocated rather than when it is added to the lookup tree.  This
allows a candidate record to be accessed, even if it's actually a duplicate
or not published yet.

Fix this by not adding the cell to cells_dyn_ino until it's confirmed
non-duplicate and is being published.  A flag is then used to record
whether it is added to the IDR to make removal from the IDR conditional.

Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260618155141.2513212-1-dhowells%40redhat.com
