The code in question (link_path_walk() in fs/namei.c ) was recently changed by
following commit:
commit 881386f7e46a:
link_path_walk(): sample parent's i_uid and i_mode for the last component
That and about 10 other commits.
Unless Al can give us a clue we'll need to bisect.
Already fixed yesterday. It's not link_path_walk(), it's handle_dots()
ignoring an error returned by step_into().
commit 5e3c3570ec97 is the broken one; commit 20971012f63e is its variant with the
fix folded in. So next-20200325 has the bug and next-20200326 should have it
fixed. Could you check the current -next and see if you still observe that crap?
Thanks Al for the information.
I confirm that today’s next tree (20200326) work for me. I can no longer recreate this
problem.
Thanks
