Note that in this code flow, the ovl ctime is updated in ovl_aio_cleanup_handler() => ovl_copyattr() after file_end_write(), similar to the is_sync_kiocb() code patch. It probably makes most sense to include i_version in ovl_copyattr(). Note that this could cause ovl i_version to go backwards on copy up (i.e. after first open for write) when switching from the lower inode i_version to the upper inode i_version. Jeff's proposal to use vfs_getattr_nosec() in IMA code is fine too. It will result in the same i_version jump. IMO it wouldn't hurt to have a valid i_version value in the ovl inode as well. If the ovl inode values would not matter, we would not have needed ovl_copyattr() at all, but it's not good to keep vfs in the dark... Thanks, Amir.
