Subject: [PATCH 4.13 18/43] ovl: handle ENOENT on index lookup

4.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@...il.com>

commit 7937a56fdf0b064c2ffa33025210f725a4ebc822 upstream.

Treat ENOENT from index entry lookup the same way as treating a returned
negative dentry. Apparently, either could be returned if file is not
found, depending on the underlying file system.

Fixes: 359f392ca53e ("ovl: lookup index entry for copy up origin")
