From 283faa964b2fb2821ea64eb451407e8a5095fe0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amir Goldstein Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2026 10:00:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] readdir: require opt-in for d_type flags Commit c31f91c6af96 ("fuse: don't allow signals to interrupt getdents copying") introduced the use of high bits in d_type as flags. However, overlayfs was not adapted to handle this change. In ovl_cache_entry_new(), the code checks if d_type == DT_CHR to determine if an entry might be a whiteout. When fuse is used as the lower layer and sets high bits in d_type, this comparison fails, causing whiteout files to not be recognized properly and resulting in incorrect overlayfs behavior. Fix this by requiring callers of iterate_dir() to opt-in for getting flag bits in d_type outside of S_DT_MASK.
