When a lower file has sync/noatime fileattr flags, the behavior of overlayfs post copy up is inconsistent. Immediately after copy up, ovl inode still has the S_SYNC/S_NOATIME inode flags copied from lower inode, so vfs code still treats the ovl inode as sync/noatime. After ovl inode evict or mount cycle, the ovl inode does not have these inode flags anymore. To fix this inconsistency, try to copy the fileattr flags on copy up if the upper fs supports the fileattr_set() method. This gives consistent behavior post copy up regardless of inode eviction from cache. We cannot copy up the immutable/append-only inode flags in a similar manner, because immutable/append-only inodes cannot be linked and because overlayfs will not be able to set overlay.* xattr on the upper inodes. Those flags will be addressed by a followup patch. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com> |
