4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Amir Goldstein amir73il@gmail.com
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]
