  syzkaller reported a null-ptr-deref error:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=bb281e89381b9ed55728c274447a575e69a96c35

ovl_dentry_revalidate_common() can be called in rcu-walk mode.
As document said, "in rcu-walk mode, d_parent and d_inode should not be
used without care". Check inode here to protect access under rcu-walk
mode.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick analysis and patch.

I simplified the patch a bit without changing the attribution.

Thanks,

Subject: ovl: fix use inode directly in rcu-walk mode

ovl_dentry_revalidate_common() can be called in rcu-walk mode.  As document
said, "in rcu-walk mode, d_parent and d_inode should not be used without
care".

Check inode here to protect access under rcu-walk mode.
