Subject: Re: [PATCH] ovl: check dentry positiveness in ovl_cleanup_whiteouts()
Note: kernels starting from 4.0 prints this
[ 72.925147] overlayfs: cleanup of '#ffff88022da16280/a' failed (-2)
instead of crashing, because of this part

("VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry->d_inode) to

in older kernels crash happens at dereferencing wdentry->d_inode
ovl_do_rmdir/unlink calls vfs_unlink/vfs_rmdir which checks positiveness
in may_delete(). both returns -ENOENT (-2) in that case.
So, patch is still required: at least for avoiding flood in kernel log.
