Changes since v1: - Breakup the large ovl_want_write() transaction in copy up - Add fix to possible deadlock with encode lower ovl fh [1] https://github.com/amir73il/linux/commits/start-write-safe Amir Goldstein (3): ovl: reorder ovl_want_write() after ovl_inode_lock() ovl: do not open/llseek lower file with upper sb_writers held ovl: do not encode lower fh with upper sb_writers held fs/overlayfs/copy_up.c | 195 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- fs/overlayfs/dir.c | 71 +++++++------- fs/overlayfs/export.c | 7 +- fs/overlayfs/inode.c | 56 ++++++----- fs/overlayfs/namei.c | 37 ++++++-- fs/overlayfs/overlayfs.h | 26 ++++-- fs/overlayfs/super.c | 20 ++-- fs/overlayfs/util.c | 16 ++++ 8 files changed, 268 insertions(+), 160 deletions(-) -- 2.34.1
