From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx> ovl_inode->redirect is an inode property and should be initialized in ovl_get_inode() only when we are adding a new inode to cache. If inode is already in cache, it is already initialized and we should not be touching ovl_inode->redirect field. As of now this is not a problem as redirects are used only for directories which don't share inode. But soon I want to use redirects for regular files also and there it can become an issue. Hence, move ->redirect initialization in ovl_get_inode().
