[PATCH 5/8] ovl: intercept read_iter

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Thu Dec 01 2016 - 05:16:19 EST


...in order to handle the corner case when the file is copyied up after
being opened read-only.

Can be verified with the following script:

- 8< - - - - - 8< - - - - - 8< - - - - - 8< - - - -
cd /
rm -rf /tmp/ovl-rorw-test
mkdir /tmp/ovl-rorw-test
cd /tmp/ovl-rorw-test
mkdir -p mnt lower upper work
echo baba > lower/foo
mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work mnt
exec 3< mnt/foo
echo bubu > mnt/foo
cat <&3
exec 3>&-
umount mnt
- 8< - - - - - 8< - - - - - 8< - - - - - 8< - - - -

Correct output is "bubu", incorrect output is "baba".
