Vivek Goyal 44d5bf109a ovl: Copy up only metadata during copy up where it makes sense
If it makes sense to copy up only metadata during copy up, do it.  This is
done for regular files which are not opened for WRITE.

Right now ->metacopy is set to 0 always.  Last patch in the series will
remove the hard coded statement and enable metacopy feature.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
