4.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>
commit cc6f67bcafcb6bbbb2d1be1603dcd95125a52800 upstream.
OpenWRT folks reported that overlayfs fails to mount if upper fs is full,
because workdir can't be created. Wordir creation can fail for various
other reasons too.
There's no reason that the mount itself should fail, overlayfs can work
fine without a workdir, as long as the overlay isn't modified.
So mount it read-only and don't allow remounting read-write.
Add a couple of WARN_ON()s for the impossible case of workdir being used
despite being read-only.
