This partially reverts commit c568d68341.
Overlayfs files will now automatically get the correct locks, no need to
hack overlay support in VFS.
It is a partial revert, because it leaves the locks_inode() calls in place
and defines locks_inode() to file_inode(). We could revert those as well,
but it would be unnecessary code churn and it makes sense to document that
we are getting the inode for locking purposes.
Don't revert MS_NOREMOTELOCK yet since that has been part of the userspace
API for some time (though not in a useful way). Will try to remove
internal flags later when the dust around the new mount API settles.

We now get write access on both overlay and underlying layers so this patch
is no longer needed for correct operation.

The underlying real file used by overlayfs still contains the overlay path.
This results in mnt_want_write_file() calls by the filesystem getting
freeze protection on the wrong inode (the overlayfs one instead of the real
one).
Fix by using file_inode(file)->i_sb instead of file->f_path.mnt->mnt_sb.

Let overlayfs do its thing when opening a file.
This enables stacking and fixes the corner case when a file is opened for
read, modified through a writable open, and data is read from the read-only
file. After this patch the read-only open will not return stale data even
in this case.

Implement stacked fiemap().
Need to split inode operations for regular file (which has fiemap) and
special file (which doesn't have fiemap).
Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
In the common case we can just use the real file cached in
file->private_data. There are two exceptions:
1) File has been copied up since open: in this unlikely corner case just
use a throwaway real file for the operation. If ever this becomes a
perfomance problem (very unlikely, since overlayfs has been doing most fine
without correctly handling this case at all), then we can deal with that by
updating the cached real file.
2) File's f_flags have changed since open: no need to reopen the cached
real file, we can just change the flags there as well.

Implement file operations on a regular overlay file. The underlying file
is opened separately and cached in ->private_data.
It might be worth making an exception for such files when accounting in
nr_file to confirm to userspace expectations. We are only adding a small
overhead (248bytes for the struct file) since the real inode and dentry are
pinned by overlayfs anyway.
This patch doesn't have any effect, since the vfs will use d_real() to find
the real underlying file to open. The patch at the end of the series will
actually enable this functionality.
AV: make it use open_with_fake_path(), don't mess with override_creds
SzM: still need to mess with override_creds() until no fs uses
current_cred() in their open method.

Stacking file operations in overlay will store an extra open file for each
overlay file opened.
The overhead is just that of "struct file" which is about 256bytes, because
overlay already pins an extra dentry and inode when the file is open, which
add up to a much larger overhead.
For fear of breaking working setups, don't start accounting the extra file.

Only upper dir can be impure, but if we are in the middle of
iterating a lower real dir, dir could be copied up and marked
impure. We only want the impure cache if we started iterating
a real upper dir to begin with.

open a file by given inode, faking ->f_path. Use with shitloads
of caution - at the very least you'd damn better make sure that
some dentry alias of that inode is pinned down by the path in
question. Again, this is no general-purpose interface and I hope
it will eventually go away. Right now overlayfs wants something
like that, but nothing else should.
Any out-of-tree code with bright idea of using this one *will*
eventually get hurt, with zero notice and great delight on my part.
I refuse to use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), especially in situations when
it's really EXPORT_SYMBOL_DONT_USE_IT(), but don't take that export

These checks are better off in do_dentry_open(); the reason we couldn't
put them there used to be that callers couldn't tell what kind of cleanup
would do_dentry_open() failure call for. Now that we have FMODE_OPENED,
cleanup is the same in all cases - it's simply fput(). So let's fold
that into do_dentry_open(), as Christoph's patch tried to.
