From c568d68341be7030f5647def68851e469b21ca11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 12:44:20 +0200 Subject: locks: fix file locking on overlayfs This patch allows flock, posix locks, ofd locks and leases to work correctly on overlayfs. Instead of using the underlying inode for storing lock context use the overlay inode. This allows locks to be persistent across copy-up. This is done by introducing locks_inode() helper and using it instead of file_inode() to get the inode in locking code. For non-overlayfs the two are equivalent, except for an extra pointer dereference in locks_inode(). Since lock operations are in "struct file_operations" we must also make sure not to call underlying filesystem's lock operations. Introcude a super block flag MS_NOREMOTELOCK to this effect.
