Subject[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 65/98] ovl: fix getcwd() failure after unsuccessful rmdir
Date
4.2.8-ckt6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Rui Wang <rui.y.wang@intel.com>

commit ce9113bbcbf45a57c082d6603b9a9f342be3ef74 upstream.

ovl_remove_upper() should do d_drop() only after it successfully
removes the dir, otherwise a subsequent getcwd() system call will
fail, breaking userspace programs.

This is to fix: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110491
