The "fix" in commit
0b08c5e5944 ("audit: Fix check of return value of
strnlen_user()") didn't fix anything, it broke things. As reported by
Steven Rostedt:
"Yes, strnlen_user() returns 0 on fault, but if you look at what len is
set to, than you would notice that on fault len would be -1"
because we just subtracted one from the return value. So testing
against 0 doesn't test for a fault condition, it tests against a
perfectly valid empty string.
Also fix up the usual braindamage wrt using WARN_ON() inside a
conditional - make it part of the conditional and remove the explicit
unlikely() (which is already part of the WARN_ON*() logic, exactly so
that you don't have to write unreadable code.
