[PATCH 15/28] ovl: Open file with data except for the case of fsync

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Tue May 29 2018 - 10:52:03 EST


From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx>

ovl_open() should open file which contains data and not open metacopy
inode. With the introduction of metacopy inodes, with current
implementaion we will end up opening metacopy inode as well.

But there can be certain circumstances like ovl_fsync() where we want to
allow opening a metacopy inode instead.

Hence, change ovl_open_realfile() and add _ovl_open_real() and add extra
parameter which specifies whether to allow opening metacopy inode or not.
If this parameter is false, we look for data inode and open that.

This should allow covering both the cases.
