commit a45ea48e2b 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.

but these need to be dealt with by the kafs-client DNS program rather
than the kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
