commit 6cd078702f2f33cb6b19a682de3e9184112f1a46 upstream. linking a non-copied-up file into a non-copied-up parent results in a nested call to mutex_lock_interruptible(&oi->lock). Fix this by copying up target parent before ovl_nlink_start(), same as done in ovl_rename(). ~/unionmount-testsuite$ ./run --ov -s ~/unionmount-testsuite$ ln /mnt/a/foo100 /mnt/a/dir100/ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected -------------------------------------------- ln/1545 is trying to acquire lock: 00000000bcce7c4c (&ovl_i_lock_key[depth]){+.+.}, at: ovl_copy_up_start+0x28/0x7d but task is already holding lock: 0000000026d73d5b (&ovl_i_lock_key[depth]){+.+.}, at: ovl_nlink_start+0x3c/0xc1 [SzM: this seems to be a false positive, but doing the copy-up first is harmless and removes the lockdep splat] Reported-by: syzbot+3ef5c0d1a5cb0b21e6be@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Fixes: 5f8415d6b87e ("ovl: persistent overlay inode nlink for...")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
