The function ovl_dir_real_file() currently uses the semaphore of the
inode to synchronize write to the upperfile cache field.
However, this function will get called by ovl_ioctl_set_flags(), which
utilizes the inode semaphore too. In this case ovl_dir_real_file() will
try to claim a lock that is owned by a function in its call stack, which
won't get released before ovl_dir_real_file() returns.
Define a dedicated semaphore for the upperfile cache, so that the
deadlock won't happen.
Fixes: 61536bed2149 ("ovl: support [S|G]ETFLAGS and FS[S|G]ETXATTR ioctls for directories")

oops. I wondered why I didn't see any warnings on this from lockdep.
Ah! because the xfstest that exercises ovl_ioctl_set_flags() on directory,
generic/079, starts with an already upper dir.
And the xfstest that checks chattr+i on lower/upper files, overlay/040,
does not check chattr on dirs (ioctl on overlay dirs wasn't supported at
the time the test was written).
Would you be able to create a variant of test overlay/040 that also tests
chattr +i on lower/upper dirs to test your patch and confirm that the test
fails on master with the appropriate Kconfig debug options.

Thanks.
I am working on another test to improve overlay/030 that may also
cover this bug, so maybe no need for both tests. I'll let you know when
I'm done.
If you like, I can post your test for you with your Signed-of-by if I think
it is also needed.

You missed this comment.
semaphore is discouraged as a locking primitive.
Please use struct mutex.
