[PATCH] ovl: fix mount fail because the upper doesn't have space

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The current ovlfs mount flow:

ovl_fill_super
 |_ovl_get_workdir
    |_ovl_make_workdir
       |_ovl_check_rename_whiteout

In ovl_check_rename_whiteout(), a new file is attempted to create.But if
the upper doesn't have space to do this, it will return error -ENOSPC,
causing the mount fail. It means that if the upper is full, the overlayfs
cannot be mounted.It is not reasonable, so this patch will omit this error
 and continue mount flow.

Fixes: cad218ab3320 ("ovl: check if upper fs supports RENAME_WHITEOUT")
