From: Zheng Liang <zhengliang6@huawei.com> stable inclusion from stable-5.10.73 commit 9763ffd4da217adfcbdcd519e9f434dfa3952fc3 bugzilla: 182983 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4I3M0 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit a295aef603e109a47af355477326bd41151765b6 upstream. The following reproducer mkdir lower upper work merge touch lower/old touch lower/new mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merge rm merge/new mv merge/old merge/new & unlink upper/new may result in this race: PROCESS A: rename("merge/old", "merge/new"); overwrite=true,ovl_lower_positive(old)=true, ovl_dentry_is_whiteout(new)=true -> flags |= RENAME_EXCHANGE PROCESS B: unlink("upper/new"); PROCESS A: lookup newdentry in new_upperdir call vfs_rename() with negative newdentry and RENAME_EXCHANGE Fix by adding the missing check for negative newdentry.
