Commitb9ac5c274b("ovl: hash overlay non-dir inodes by copy up origin") verifies that the origin lower inode stored in the overlayfs inode matched the inode of a copy up origin dentry found by lookup. There is a false positive result in that check when lower fs does not support file handles and copy up origin cannot be followed by file handle at lookup time. The false negative happens when finding an overlay inode in cache on a copied up overlay dentry lookup. The overlay inode still 'remembers' the copy up origin inode, but the copy up origin dentry is not available for verification. Relax the check in case copy up origin dentry is not available.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
