ANDROID: regression introduced override_creds=off
Solve a regression introduced by
commit f5f87ecac1cfdcfd13d0870b9acdc39a7c1cb3c9
("ANDROID: overlayfs: override_creds=off option bypass creator_cred")
where a crash is observed a crash in ovl_create_or_link() when a
simple re-direction command in vendor directory.
/vendor/bin/<Any test> > /vendor/bin/test_log.txt 2>&1&
After further debugging we see that if the output is redirected to a
file which doesn’t exist we see this stack:
[ 377.382745] ovl_create_or_link+0xac/0x710
[ 377.382745] ovl_create_object+0xb8/0x110
[ 377.382745] ovl_create+0x34/0x40
[ 377.382745] path_openat+0xd44/0x15a8
[ 377.382745] do_filp_open+0x80/0x128
[ 377.382745] do_sys_open+0x140/0x250
[ 377.382745] __arm64_sys_openat+0x2c/0x38
ovl_override_creds returns NULL because the override_cred flag is set
to false. This causes ovl_revert_creds also to fail.
There is another call to check override_cred in override_cred call
which overrides the creds permanently as there no revert_creds
associated. So whenever next commit_cred is called we see the crash
as the credentials are permanently overridden.
