Subject: overlayfs: fix lockdep misannotation
X-Git-Tag: v5.15~16656^2~38
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d1b72cc6d8cb766c802fdc70a5edc2f0ba8a2b57;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-starfive.git

overlayfs: fix lockdep misannotation

In an overlay directory that shadows an empty lower directory, say
/mnt/a/empty102, do:

 	touch /mnt/a/empty102/x
 	unlink /mnt/a/empty102/x
 	rmdir /mnt/a/empty102

It's actually harmless, but needs another level of nesting between
I_MUTEX_CHILD and I_MUTEX_NORMAL.
