The WARN_ON() that child entry is always on overlay st_dev became wrong when we allowed this function to update d_ino in non-samefs setup with xino enabled. It is not true in case of xino bits overflow on a non-dir inode. Leave the WARN_ON() only for directories, where assertion is still true. Fixes: adbf4f7ea834 ("ovl: consistent d_ino for non-samefs with xino") Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v4.17+ Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Miklos, Another fall out from testing nested xino setup.
