ovl: Filter invalid inodes with missing lookup function
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ovl: Filter invalid inodes with missing lookup function Add a check to the ovl_dentry_weird() function to prevent the processing of directory inodes that lack the lookup function. This is important because such inodes can cause errors in overlayfs when passed to the lowerstack.
