From d1b72cc6d8cb766c802fdc70a5edc2f0ba8a2b57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2014 15:42:01 +0100 Subject: overlayfs: fix lockdep misannotation In an overlay directory that shadows an empty lower directory, say /mnt/a/empty102, do: touch /mnt/a/empty102/x unlink /mnt/a/empty102/x rmdir /mnt/a/empty102 It's actually harmless, but needs another level of nesting between I_MUTEX_CHILD and I_MUTEX_NORMAL.
