From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx>
This series fixes bugs in nfs and ext4 due to 4bacc9c9234c ("overlayfs: Make
f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay").
Regular files opened on overlayfs will result in the file being opened on
the underlying filesystem, while f_path points to the overlayfs
mount/dentry.
This confuses filesystems which get the dentry from struct file and assume
it's theirs.
Add a new helper, file_dentry() [*], to get the filesystem's own dentry
from the file. This simply compares file_inode(file->f_path.dentry) to
file_inode(file) and if they are equal returns file->f_path.dentry (this is
the common, non-overlayfs case).
In the uncommon case (regular file on overlayfs) it will call into
overlayfs's ->d_native_dentry() to get the underlying dentry matching
file_inode(file).
[*] If possible, it's better simply to use file_inode() instead.
