4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 08d8f8a5b094b66b29936e8751b4a818b8db1207 upstream. Right now we seem to be passing index as "lowerdentry" and origin.dentry as "upperdentry". IIUC, we should pass these parameters in reversed order and this looks like a bug.
