An "origin && non-merge" upper dir may have leftover whiteouts that
were created in past mount. overlayfs does no clear this dir when we
delete it, which may lead to rmdir fail or temp file left in workdir.
Simple reproducer:
mkdir lower upper work merge
mkdir -p lower/dir
touch lower/dir/a
mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,\
workdir=work merge
rm merge/dir/a
umount merge
rm -rf lower/*
touch lower/dir (*)
mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,\
workdir=work merge
rm -rf merge/dir
Syslog dump:
overlayfs: cleanup of 'work/#7' failed (-39)
(*): if we do not create the regular file, the result is different:
rm: cannot remove "dir/": Directory not empty
This patch adds a check for the case of non-merge dir that may contain
whiteouts, and calls ovl_check_empty_dir() to check and clear whiteouts
from upper dir when an empty dir is being deleted.
[amir: split patch from ovl_check_empty_dir() cleanup
rename ovl_is_origin() to ovl_may_have_whiteouts()
check OVL_WHITEOUTS flag instead of checking origin xattr]

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
