commit64bed6cbe3upstream. nfsd and lockd call vfs_lock_file() to lock/unlock the inode returned by locks_inode(file). Many places in nfsd/lockd code use the inode returned by file_inode(file) for lock manipulation. With Overlayfs, file_inode() (the underlying inode) is not the same object as locks_inode() (the overlay inode). This can result in "Leaked POSIX lock" messages and eventually to a kernel crash as reported by Eddie Horng: https://marc.info/?l=linux-unionfs&m=153086643202072&w=2 Fix all the call sites in nfsd/lockd that should use locks_inode(). This is a correctness bug that manifested when overlayfs gained NFS export support in v4.16.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
