WARN_ON(!uid_eq(inode->i_uid, realinode->i_uid)); WARN_ON(!gid_eq(inode->i_gid, realinode->i_gid)); This is a stress tests that makes modification to underlying layer while overlay is mounted, so it is not surprising. I think the correct solution is to turn those WARN_ON to pr_warn_ratelimited(). There are many of those fired by the stress test. Do you agree this is the correct fix?
