Subject: ovl: check whiteout in ovl_create_over_whiteout()
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5e1275808630ea3b2c97c776f40e475017535f72;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

ovl: check whiteout in ovl_create_over_whiteout()

Kaixuxia repors that it's possible to crash overlayfs by removing the
whiteout on the upper layer before creating a directory over it.  This is a
reproducer:

 mkdir lower upper work merge
 touch lower/file
 mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merge
 rm merge/file
 ls -al merge/file
 rm upper/file
 ls -al merge/
 mkdir merge/file

Before commencing with a vfs_rename(..., RENAME_EXCHANGE) verify that the
lookup of "upper" is positive and is a whiteout, and return ESTALE
otherwise.
