Fetch a reproducer in [Link].

Add a new helper ovl_i_path_realinode() to get realpath and real inode
after non-nullptr checking, use the helper to replace the current realpath
getting logic.

If you want to return the inode wouldn't it possibly make more sense to
return the inode from the function directly? But not fuzzed. Maybe Amir
has a preference. As I said, I'm even fine with the original approach.

Sorry for not reviewing v1, I was traveling, even though it is hard to use
this excuse when I was traveling with Christian who did review v1 :)

Well, I did only do it this morning. :)

I think this helper is over engineered ;-)

Yes. As mentioned before, I would've been happy even with v1 that didn't
have any helper.

The idea for a helper that returns inode is good,
but I see no reason to mix RCU walk in this helper
and don't even need a new helper (see untested patch below).

Looks good to me too.


Thanks,
Amir.

Thanks for reviewings and helpful discussion from Amir and Christian.

Btw, if the reproducer that Zhihao has posted in the bugzilla link:

#!/bin/bash

mkdir -p /root/tmp/merge /root/tmp/upper/dir /root/tmp/lower /root/tmp/work
touch /root/tmp/upper/dir/file
chown freg:freg -R /root/tmp/upper/dir
mount -t overlay none -oupperdir=/root/tmp/upper,lowerdir=/root/tmp/lower,workdir=/root/tmp/work /root/tmp/merge
ls /root/tmp/merge/dir/file &
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

is reliable we should add it to xfstests...

If only it was that easy to trigger this race.
Look at the debug kernel patch named 'diff' in bugzilla...

Yes, I can hardly reproduce the problem without the time delay in kernel.


Thanks,
Amir.
