From 8cf9ee5061037accf61775f438ad7513576d4413 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2018 15:44:43 +0200 Subject: Revert "vfs: do get_write_access() on upper layer of overlayfs" This reverts commit 4d0c5ba2ff79ef9f5188998b29fd28fcb05f3667. We now get write access on both overlay and underlying layers so this patch is no longer needed for correct operation.
