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 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. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
