[PATCH 4.14 015/178] ovl: Pass ovl_get_nlink() parameters in right order

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Dec 18 2017 - 11:58:15 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 08d8f8a5b094b66b29936e8751b4a818b8db1207 upstream.

Right now we seem to be passing index as "lowerdentry" and origin.dentry
as "upperdentry". IIUC, we should pass these parameters in reversed order
and this looks like a bug.
