commit5e12758086upstream. 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.

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.
