From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@xxxxxxx>
do_whiteout() allows removal of a directory when it has whiteouts but
is logically empty.
XXX - This patch abuses readdir() to check if the union directory is
logically empty - that is, all the entries are whiteouts (or "." or
".."). Currently, we have no clean VFS interface to ask the lower
file system if a directory is empty.
Fixes:
- Add ->is_directory_empty() op
- Add is_directory_empty flag to dentry (ugly dcache populate)
- Ask underlying fs to remove it and look for an error return
- (your idea here)
