[Devel] [PATCH rh7 05/11] ms/fs: Check for invalid i_uid in may_follow_link()

[Konstantin Khorenko]

From: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee at canonical.com>

Filesystem uids which don't map into a user namespace may result
in inode->i_uid being INVALID_UID. A symlink and its parent
could have different owners in the filesystem can both get
mapped to INVALID_UID, which may result in following a symlink
when this would not have otherwise been permitted when protected
symlinks are enabled.
