That is in line what we do with all other inode attributes. IOW, the overlayfs inode's i_version counter should aim to mirror the relevant layer's i_version counter. I wouldn't know why that shouldn't be the case. Asking the other way around there doesn't seem to be any use for overlayfs inodes to have an i_version that isn't just mirroring the relevant layer's i_version. (2) Jeff's changes for ima to make it rely on vfs_getattr_nosec(). Currently, ima assumes that it will get the correct i_version from an inode but that just doesn't hold for stacking filesystem. While (1) would likely just fix the immediate bug (2) is correct and _robust_. If we change how attributes are handled vfs_*() helpers will get updated and ima with it. Poking at raw inodes without using appropriate helpers is much more likely to get ima into trouble. Christian
