ovl_copy_up() by default will only do metadata only copy up (if enabled). That means when ovl_real_ioctl() calls ovl_real_file(), it will still get the lower file (as ovl_real_file() opens data file and not metacopy). And that means "chattr +i" will end up modifying lower inode. There seem to be two ways to solve this. A. Open metacopy file in ovl_real_ioctl() and do operations on that B. Force full copy up when FS_IOC_SETFLAGS is called. I am resorting to option B for now as it feels little safer option. If there are performance issues due to this, we can revisit it.

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.
