ovl: check whiteout in ovl_create_over_whiteout()
commit 5e127580 upstream. Kaixuxia repors that it's possible to crash overlayfs by removing the whiteout on the upper layer before creating a directory over it. This is a reproducer: mkdir lower upper work merge touch lower/file mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merge rm merge/file ls -al merge/file rm upper/file ls -al merge/ mkdir merge/file Before commencing with a vfs_rename(..., RENAME_EXCHANGE) verify that the lookup of "upper" is positive and is a whiteout, and return ESTALE otherwise.
