From: Aihua Zhang <zhangaihua1@xxxxxxxxxx>

I wrote a testcase to truncate a bin file while it is running on overlayfs.

the mount:
/dev/mapper/fedora-home on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
overlay on /tmp type overlay (rw,relatime,lowerdir=/home/zah/lower,
		upperdir=/home/zah/upper,workdir=/home/zah/workdir)

the code cpp:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int status;
pthread_t thread;
int err;
char *ptr;

ptr = basename(argv[0]);
printf("%s\n",ptr);
errno = 0;

status = truncate(ptr, 4096);
printf("status:%d\n",status);
printf("errno:%d\n",errno);
printf("ETXTBSY:%d\n",ETXTBSY);

if ((-1 == status) && (ETXTBSY == errno))
{
printf("PASS\n");
return 0;
}

err = errno;
printf("err = %d\n", err);
printf("FAIL\n");
return 1;
}

I running the test on overlayfs, the result as below:
Bus error (core dumped)

and running the test on ext4, the result as below:
status:-1
errno:26
ETXTBSY:26
PASS

I add some log, and I find the inode is not correct on overlayfs,
and the inode->i_writecount is not correct also called by vfs_truncate->
get_write_access(), the log as below:

Jun 22 09:50:38 kernel: [131.872920] deny_write_access: inode ino 64104618
Jun 22 09:50:38 kernel: [131.873109] deny_write_access: inode ino 64104618

Jun 22 09:50:38 kernel: [131.873162] allow_write_access: inode ino 64104618
Jun 22 09:50:38 kernel: [131.873947] __vma_link_file: inode ino 64104618
Jun 22 09:50:38 kernel: [131.874039] vfs_truncate: inode ino:24061

before vfs_truncate, the inode is point to upper filesystem(ext4),
and in vfs_truncate the inode is point to overlayfs.

So, I fix it by geting the real inode via ovl_d_select_inode.
