Amir Goldstein 8a22efa15b ovl: do not try to reconnect a disconnected origin dentry ... On lookup of non directory, we try to decode the origin file handle stored in upper inode. The origin file handle is supposed to be decoded to a disconnected non-dir dentry, which is fine, because we only need the lower inode of a copy up origin. However, if the origin file handle somehow turns out to be a directory we pay the expensive cost of reconnecting the directory dentry, only to get a mismatch file type and drop the dentry. Optimize this case by explicitly opting out of reconnecting the dentry. Opting-out of reconnect is done by passing a NULL acceptable callback to exportfs_decode_fh(). While the case described above is a strange corner case that does not really need to be optimized, the API added for this optimization will be used by a following patch to optimize a more common case of decoding an overlayfs file handle.
