[RFC PATCH 09/35] ovl: stack file ops

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Thu Apr 12 2018 - 11:21:55 EST


Implement file operations on a regular overlay file. The underlying file
is opened separately and cached in ->private_data.

It might be worth making an exception for such files when accounting in
nr_file to confirm to userspace expectations. We are only adding a small
overhead (248bytes for the struct file) since the real inode and dentry are
pinned by overlayfs anyway.

This patch doesn't have any effect, since the vfs will use d_real() to find
the real underlying file to open. The patch at the end of the series will
actually enable this functionality.
