4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> commit b99c2d913810e56682a538c9f2394d76fca808f8 upstream. Before 4bacc9c9234c ("overlayfs: Make f_path...") file->f_path pointed to the underlying file, hence suid/sgid removal on write worked fine. After that patch file->f_path pointed to the overlay file, and the file mode bits weren't copied to overlay_inode->i_mode. So the suid/sgid removal simply stopped working. The fix is to copy the mode bits, but then ovl_setattr() needs to clear ATTR_MODE to avoid the BUG() in notify_change(). So do this first, then in the next patch copy the mode.
