There are several write operations on upper fs not covered by mnt_want_write(): - test set/remove OPAQUE xattr - test create O_TMPFILE - set ORIGIN xattr in ovl_verify_origin() - cleanup of index entries in ovl_indexdir_cleanup() Some of these go way back, but this patch only applies over the v4.14 re-factoring of ovl_fill_super().
