4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx> commit 67810693077afc1ebf9e1646af300436cb8103c2 upstream. Only upper dir can be impure, but if we are in the middle of iterating a lower real dir, dir could be copied up and marked impure. We only want the impure cache if we started iterating a real upper dir to begin with. Aditya Kali reported that the following reproducer hits the WARN_ON(!cache->refcount) in ovl_get_cache(): docker run --rm drupal:8.5.4-fpm-alpine \ sh -c 'cd /var/www/html/vendor/symfony && \ chown -R www-data:www-data . && ls -l .'
