ovl: Warn on copy up if a process has a R/O fd open to the lower file
Print a warning when overlayfs copies up a file if the process that triggered the copy up has a R/O fd open to the lower file being copied up. This can help catch applications that do things like the following: fd1 = open("foo", O_RDONLY); fd2 = open("foo", O_RDWR); where they expect fd1 and fd2 to refer to the same file - which will no longer be the case post-copy up. With this patch, the following commands: bash 5</mnt/a/foo128 6<>/mnt/a/foo128 assuming /mnt/a/foo128 to be an un-copied up file on an overlay will produce the following warning in the kernel log: overlayfs: Copying up foo129, but open R/O on fd 5 which will cease to be coherent [pid=3818 bash] This is enabled by setting: /sys/module/overlay/parameters/check_copy_up to 1. The warnings are ratelimited and are also limited to one warning per file - assuming the copy up completes in each case.
