Miklos Szeredi: > This patch series reverts the VFS hacks (with the exception of d_path) and I totally agree with removing d_real things. It must be good to the world. If I understand correctly, this series affects file_inode() too. So there may exist more commits to revert such as fea6d2a6 2017-02-14 vfs: Use upper filesystem inode in bprm_fill_uid() Here is another question. Does overlayfs support atomic_open? I remember implementing atomic_open on aufs was rather tricky many years ago, and I am interested in how overlayfs addresses it. J. R. Okajima
