On the first getdents call, ovl_iterate() populates the readdir cache with a list of entries, but for upper entries with origin lower inode, p->ino remains zero. Following getdents calls traverse the readdir cache list and call ovl_cache_update_ino() for entries with zero p->ino to lookup the entry in the overlay and return d_ino that is consistent with st_ino. If the upper file was unlinked between the first getdents call and the getdents call that lists the file entry, ovl_cache_update_ino() will not find the entry and fall back to setting d_ino to the upper real st_ino, which is inconsistent with how this object was presented to users. Instead of listing a stale entry with inconsistent d_ino, simply skip the stale entry, which is better for users. xfstest overlay/077 is failing without this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
