commit 9409e22a upstream. If a file is renamed to a hardlink of itself POSIX specifies that rename(2) should do nothing and return success. This condition is checked in vfs_rename(). However it won't detect hard links on overlayfs where these are given separate inodes on the overlayfs layer. Overlayfs itself detects this condition and returns success without doing anything, but then vfs_rename() will proceed as if this was a successful rename (detach_mounts(), d_move()). The correct thing to do is to detect this condition before even calling into overlayfs. This patch does this by calling vfs_select_inode() to get the underlying inodes.
