[PATCH] ovl: copy new uid/gid into overlayfs runtime inode

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Sun Jan 31 2016 - 08:21:38 EST


Overlayfs must update uid/gid after chown, otherwise functions
like inode_owner_or_capable() will check user against stale uid.
Catched by xfstests generic/087, it chowns file and calls utimes.
