    afs: Fix dynamic root lookup DNS check · 74cef687
    David Howells authored
    In the afs dynamic root directory, the ->lookup() function does a DNS check
    on the cell being asked for and if the DNS upcall reports an error it will
    report an error back to userspace (typically ENOENT).
    
    However, if a failed DNS upcall returns a new-style result, it will return
    a valid result, with the status field set appropriately to indicate the
    type of failure - and in that case, dns_query() doesn't return an error and
    we let stat() complete with no error - which can cause confusion in
    userspace as subsequent calls that trigger d_automount then fail with
    ENOENT.
    
    Fix this by checking the status result from a valid dns_query() and
    returning an error if it indicates a failure.
    
    Fixes: bbb4c432 ("dns: Allow the dns resolver to retrieve a server set")
