[PATCH 4.6 186/203] ovl: Copy up underlying inodes ->i_mode to overlay inode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 07a2daab49c549a37b5b744cbebb6e3f445f12bc upstream.

Right now when a new overlay inode is created, we initialize overlay
inode's ->i_mode from underlying inode ->i_mode but we retain only
file type bits (S_IFMT) and discard permission bits.

This patch changes it and retains permission bits too. This should allow
overlay to do permission checks on overlay inode itself in task context.

[SzM] It also fixes clearing suid/sgid bits on write.
