From 6859985a2fbda5d1586bf44538853e1be69e85f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2021 10:55:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ovl: fix warning in ovl_create_real() commit 1f5573cfe7a7056e80a92c7a037a3e69f3a13d1c upstream. Syzbot triggered the following warning in ovl_workdir_create() -> ovl_create_real(): if (!err && WARN_ON(!newdentry->d_inode)) { The reason is that the cgroup2 filesystem returns from mkdir without instantiating the new dentry. Weird filesystems such as this will be rejected by overlayfs at a later stage during setup, but to prevent such a warning, call ovl_mkdir_real() directly from ovl_workdir_create() and reject this case early.
