commit a295aef603e109a47af355477326bd41151765b6 upstream.
The following reproducer
mkdir lower upper work merge touch lower/old touch lower/new mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merge rm merge/new mv merge/old merge/new & unlink upper/new
may result in this race:
PROCESS A: rename("merge/old", "merge/new"); overwrite=true,ovl_lower_positive(old)=true, ovl_dentry_is_whiteout(new)=true -> flags |= RENAME_EXCHANGE
PROCESS B: unlink("upper/new");
PROCESS A: lookup newdentry in new_upperdir call vfs_rename() with negative newdentry and RENAME_EXCHANGE
Fix by adding the missing check for negative newdentry.
