An upper type non directory dentry that is a copy up target should have a reference to its lower copy up origin. There are three ways for an upper type dentry to be instantiated: 1. A lower type dentry that is being copied up 2. An entry that is found in upper dir by ovl_lookup() 3. A negative dentry is hardlinked to an upper type dentry In the first case, the lower reference is set before copy up. In the second case, the lower reference is found by ovl_lookup(). In the last case of hardlinked upper dentry, it is not easy to update the lower reference of the negative dentry. Instead, drop the newly hardlinked negative dentry from dcache and let the next access call ovl_lookup() to find its lower reference. This makes sure that the inode number reported by stat(2) after the hardlink is created is the same inode number that will be reported by stat(2) after mount cycle, which is the inode number of the lower copy up origin of the hardlink source. NOTE that this does not fix breaking of lower hardlinks on copy up, but only fixes the case of lower nlink == 1, whose upper copy up inode is hardlinked in upper dir.

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.
