Hi Amir, (Sorry for new email, but I cannot find your patch in my mailbox, though found it in next-20170517)
Your patch 02cac3227a282 (ovl: mark upper dir with type origin entries "impure") makes gcc warn on uninitialized variables in my arm64 build: fs/overlayfs/dir.c: In function ‘ovl_rename’: fs/overlayfs/dir.c:1060:2: warning: ‘newdentry’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] dput(newdentry); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ fs/overlayfs/dir.c:1062:2: warning: ‘olddentry’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] dput(olddentry); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The patch below fixes warnings for me. But I'm not familiar to the subsystem and so not sure that the fix is correct.
