From 4f4374a9bd25b333971e6f2656b642d29e2efe7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2018 15:44:43 +0200 Subject: vfs: fix freeze protection in mnt_want_write_file() for overlayfs [ Upstream commit a6795a585929d94ca3e931bc8518f8deb8bbe627 ] The underlying real file used by overlayfs still contains the overlay path. This results in mnt_want_write_file() calls by the filesystem getting freeze protection on the wrong inode (the overlayfs one instead of the real one). Fix by using file_inode(file)->i_sb instead of file->f_path.mnt->mnt_sb.
