commit124c2de2c0upstream. Decoding a lower directory file handle to overlay path with cold inode/dentry cache may go as follows: 1. Decode real lower file handle to lower dir path 2. Check if lower dir is indexed (was copied up) 3. If indexed, get the upper dir path from index 4. Lookup upper dir path in overlay 5. If overlay path found, verify that overlay lower is the lower dir from step 1 On failure to verify step 5 above, user will get an ESTALE error and a WARN_ON will be printed. A mismatch in step 5 could be a result of lower directory that was renamed while overlay was offline, after that lower directory has been copied up and indexed. This is a scripted reproducer based on xfstest overlay/052: # Create lower subdir create_dirs create_test_files $lower/lowertestdir/subdir mount_dirs # Copy up lower dir and encode lower subdir file handle touch $SCRATCH_MNT/lowertestdir test_file_handles $SCRATCH_MNT/lowertestdir/subdir -p -o $tmp.fhandle # Rename lower dir offline unmount_dirs mv $lower/lowertestdir $lower/lowertestdir.new/ mount_dirs # Attempt to decode lower subdir file handle test_file_handles $SCRATCH_MNT -p -i $tmp.fhandle Since this WARN_ON() can be triggered by user we need to relax it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
