This works around the kernel not being able to validly check the current_fsuid() against i_uid on the file or the directory because the uidspaces of the system and of AFS may well be disjoint. The problem lies with the uid checks in may_create_in_sticky().However, the bash work around is going to be removed:Why is it removed? That's a very strange comment:
I think this question has been adequately answered.
So then just don't remove it. I don't see a reason for us to workaround userspace creating a bug for itself and forcing us to add two new inode operations to work around it.
I think this shows that userspace applications should be very cautious
about putting in workarounds for kernel bugs, and making them as limited
in scope as possible.
