[PATCH v2 0/6] Overlayfs stacked f_op fixes

[Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>]

Miklos,

Following are fixes to some stacked f_op regressions, also
availabel on my ovl-fixes branch [1].

Patches 2-3 fix fiemap() and swapon() regressions detected
by xfstests.

Per your suggestion, f_mapping now points to the overlay
inode mapping and as a result, swapfile support is disabled on
an overlayfs file.
Also disabled is FIBMAP on an overlayfs file - not a big loss.

Patch 1 adds the vfs helper file_real() to access overlayfs
real file and patches 4-6 use this helper to untangle from
the f_mapping change.

Please note that patch 4 fixes a problem that was verified
with an LTP test [2], but patches 5-6 fix theoretical problems
that I have not yet demonstrated with a test.

Thanks,
Amir.
