| H A D | dir.c | a105d685 Thu Nov 20 09:39:59 CST 2014 Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> ovl: fix remove/copy-up race
ovl_remove_and_whiteout() needs to check if upper dentry exists or not
after having locked upper parent directory.
Previously we used a "type" value computed before locking the upper parent
directory, which is susceptible to racing with copy-up.
There's a similar check in ovl_check_empty_and_clear(). This one is not
actually racy, since copy-up doesn't change the "emptyness" property of a
directory. Add a comment to this effect, and check the existence of upper
dentry locally to make the code cleaner.
