From 21765194cecf2e4514ad75244df459f188140a0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Fri, 20 May 2016 09:04:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ovl: Do d_type check only if work dir creation was successful d_type check requires successful creation of workdir as iterates through work dir and expects work dir to be present in it. If that's not the case, this check will always return d_type not supported even if underlying filesystem might be supporting it. So don't do this check if work dir creation failed in previous step.
