From a425c037f3dd8a56469158ab5f37beb46402d958 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: hujianyang Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2015 16:10:01 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ovl: Fix opaque regression in ovl_lookup Current multi-layer support overlayfs has a regression in .lookup(). If there is a directory in upperdir and a regular file has same name in lowerdir in a merged directory, lower file is hidden and upper directory is set to opaque in former case. But it is changed in present code. In lowerdir lookup path, if a found inode is not directory, the type checking of previous inode is missing. This inode will be copied to the lowerstack of ovl_entry directly. That will lead to several wrong conditions, for example, the reading of the directory in upperdir may return an error like: ls: reading directory .: Not a directory This patch makes the lowerdir lookup path check the opaque for non-directory file too.
