Subject[PATCH 6/6] Unionfs: cache coherency after lower objects are removed
Date
Prevent an oops if a lower file is deleted and then it is stat'ed from the
upper layer. Ensure that we return a negative dentry so the user will get
an ENOENT. Properly dput/mntput so we don't leak references at the lower
file system.
