From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx> ovl_fill_super calls ovl_new_inode to create a root inode for the new superblock before initializing sb->s_xattr. This wrongly causes IOP_XATTR to be cleared in i_opflags of the new inode, causing SELinux to log the following message: SELinux: (dev overlay, type overlay) has no xattr support Fix this by initializing sb->s_xattr and similar fields before calling ovl_new_inode.
