Vivek Goyal 67d756c27a ovl: Fix ovl_getattr() to get number of blocks from lower
If an inode has been copied up metadata only, then we need to query the
number of blocks from lower and fill up the stat->st_blocks.

We need to be careful about races where we are doing stat on one cpu and
data copy up is taking place on other cpu.  We want to return
stat->st_blocks either from lower or stable upper and not something in
between.  Hence, ovl_has_upperdata() is called first to figure out whether
block reporting will take place from lower or upper.

We now support metacopy dentries in middle layer.  That means number of
blocks reporting needs to come from lowest data dentry and this could be
different from lower dentry.  Hence we end up making a separate
vfs_getxattr() call for metacopy dentries to get number of blocks.

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.
