Subject: ovl: don't remove non-empty opaque directory
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d377c5eb54dd05aeb3094b7740252d19ba7791f7;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

ovl: don't remove non-empty opaque directory

When removing an opaque directory we can't just call rmdir() to check for
emptiness, because the directory will need to be replaced with a whiteout.
The replacement is done with RENAME_EXCHANGE, which doesn't check
emptiness.

Solution is just to check emptiness by reading the directory.  In the
future we could add a new rename flag to check for emptiness even for
RENAME_EXCHANGE to optimize this case.
