Subject[PATCH 0/7] overlayfs: fix ro/rw fd data inconsistecies
Date
A file is opened for read-only, opened read-write (resulting in a copy up)
and modified. The data read back from the the read-only fd will be stale
in this case (the read-only file descriptor still refers to the lower,
unmodified file).

This patchset fixes issues related to this corner case.

The VFS impact is minimal and performance in the non-corner cases shouldn't
suffer.
