[PATCH] ovl: Fix use inode directly in rcu-walk mode
From: Chen Zhongjin
Date: Thu Nov 24 2022 - 04:29:16 EST
syzkaller reported a null-ptr-deref error:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=bb281e89381b9ed55728c274447a575e69a96c35
ovl_dentry_revalidate_common() can be called in rcu-walk mode.
As document said, "in rcu-walk mode, d_parent and d_inode should not be
used without care". Check inode here to protect access under rcu-walk
mode.
Fixes: bccece1ead36 ("ovl: allow remote upper")
