[PATCH 4.4 23/28] fscrypt: fix renaming and linking special files

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 42d97eb0ade31e1bc537d086842f5d6e766d9d51 upstream.

Attempting to link a device node, named pipe, or socket file into an
encrypted directory through rename(2) or link(2) always failed with
EPERM.  This happened because fscrypt_has_permitted_context() saw that
the file was unencrypted and forbid creating the link.  This behavior
was unexpected because such files are never encrypted; only regular
files, directories, and symlinks can be encrypted.

To fix this, make fscrypt_has_permitted_context() always return true on
special files.

This will be covered by a test in my encryption xfstests patchset.

Fixes: 9bd8212f981e ("ext4 crypto: add encryption policy and password salt support")
