Ouch! the problem is not with the patch. The patch is just bring to light
the fact that filesystems do mnt_want_write_file(file) on ioctls such as
FS_IOC_SETFLAGS and if that file happens to be an overlayfs file
then filesystems are getting write access to overlay mount and that was
not their intention. That can be a way to bypass filesystem ro mount
and freeze protection.

I couldn't reproduce ro/freeze protection with xfs and ext4 on upstream
kernel, but did reproduce freeze protection bypass with ext4 and the ro-rw
patches. ext4 also hits a WARN_ON with upstream kernel and with ro-rw:

root@kvm-xfstests:~# lsattr -l /mnt/foo

Is there a reason why the real file can't get the real path?
For current kernels, can you say what else can go wrong when filesystems
call mnt_want_write_file() on an overlay file on ioctl with filesystem
inode and why I couldn't reproduce readonly/freeze bypass?

Thanks,
Amir.
