From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7d6899fb69d25e1bc6f4700b7c1d92e6b608593d ] For upper filesystems which do not use strict ordering of persisting metadata changes (e.g. ubifs), when overlayfs file is modified for the first time, copy up will create a copy of the lower file and its parent directories in the upper layer. Permission lost of the new upper parent directory was observed during power-cut stress test. Fix by moving the fsync call to after metadata copy to make sure that the metadata copied up directory and files persists to disk before renaming from tmp to final destination. With metacopy enabled, this change will hurt performance of workloads such as chown -R, so we keep the legacy behavior of fsync only on copyup of data.
