ovl: fix rmdir problem on non-merge dir with origin xattr An "origin && non-merge" upper dir may have leftover whiteouts that were created in past mount. overlayfs does no clear this dir when we delete it, which may lead to rmdir fail or temp file left in workdir. Simple reproducer: mkdir lower upper work merge mkdir -p lower/dir touch lower/dir/a mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,\ workdir=work merge rm merge/dir/a umount merge rm -rf lower/* touch lower/dir (*) mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,\ workdir=work merge rm -rf merge/dir Syslog dump: overlayfs: cleanup of 'work/#7' failed (-39) (*): if we do not create the regular file, the result is different: rm: cannot remove "dir/": Directory not empty This patch adds a check for the case of non-merge dir that may contain whiteouts, and calls ovl_check_empty_dir() to check and clear whiteouts from upper dir when an empty dir is being deleted. [amir: split patch from ovl_check_empty_dir() cleanup rename ovl_is_origin() to ovl_may_have_whiteouts() check OVL_WHITEOUTS flag instead of checking origin xattr] Signed-off-by: zhangyi (F) <yi.zhang@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
