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.

Yury
