ovl: fix oops in ovl_indexdir_cleanup() with nfs_export=on
Mounting with nfs_export=on, xfstests overlay/031 triggers a kernel panic since v5.8-rc1 overlayfs updates. overlayfs: orphan index entry (index/00fb1..., ftype=4000, nlink=2) BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000030 RIP: 0010:ovl_cleanup_and_whiteout+0x28/0x220 [overlay] Bisect point at commit c21c839b ("ovl: whiteout inode sharing") Minimal reproducer: -------------------------------------------------- rm -rf l u w m mkdir -p l u w m mkdir -p l/testdir touch l/testdir/testfile mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=l,upperdir=u,workdir=w,nfs_export=on overlay m echo 1 > m/testdir/testfile umount m rm -rf u/testdir mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=l,upperdir=u,workdir=w,nfs_export=on overlay m umount m -------------------------------------------------- When mount with nfs_export=on, and fail to verify an orphan index, we're cleaning this index from indexdir by calling ovl_cleanup_and_whiteout(). This dereferences ofs->workdir, that was earlier set to NULL. The design was that ovl->workdir will point at ovl->indexdir, but we are assigning ofs->indexdir to ofs->workdir only after ovl_indexdir_cleanup(). There is no reason not to do it sooner, because once we get success from ofs->indexdir = ovl_workdir_create(... there is no turning back.
