From 521484639ec19a6f1ed56de6993feb255f5f676c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2014 16:40:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ovl: fix race in private xattr checks Xattr operations can race with copy up. This does not matter as long as we consistently fiter out "trunsted.overlay.opaque" attribute on upper directories. Previously we checked parent against OVL_PATH_MERGE. This is too general, and prone to race with copy-up. I.e. we found the parent to be on the lower layer but ovl_dentry_real() would return the copied-up dentry, possibly with the "opaque" attribute. So instead use ovl_path_real() and decide to filter the attributes based on the actual type of the dentry we'll use.
