From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: From: Miklos Szeredi To: linux-unionfs@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 32/39] vfs: fix freeze protection in mnt_want_write_file() for overlayfs Date: Tue, 29 May 2018 16:43:32 +0200 Message-Id: <20180529144339.16538-33-mszeredi@redhat.com> In-Reply-To: <20180529144339.16538-1-mszeredi@redhat.com> References: <20180529144339.16538-1-mszeredi@redhat.com> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: The underlying real file used by overlayfs still contains the overlay path. This results in mnt_want_write_file() calls by the filesystem getting freeze protection on the wrong inode (the overlayfs one instead of the real one). Fix by using file_inode(file)->i_sb instead of file->f_path.mnt->mnt_sb.
