You don't know that inode->i_uid in meaningful. You may have noticed that
afs_permission() ignores i_uid and i_gid entirely. It queries the server (if
this information is not otherwise cached) to ask what permits the user is
granted - where the user identity is defined by the key returned from
afs_request_key()[*].

So, NAK for the afs piece.
