For overlay file open, check IS_APPEND() on the real upper inode inside d_real(), because the overlay inode does not have the S_APPEND flag and IS_APPEND() can only be checked at open time. Note that because overlayfs does not copy up the chattr inode flags (i.e. S_APPEND, S_IMMUTABLE), the IS_APPEND() check is only relevant for upper inodes that were set with chattr +a and not to lower inodes that had chattr +a before copy up.
