Oleksandr Tymoshenko 514b6cca20 ovl: properly handle large files in ovl_security_fileattr 
commit 3b6b99ef15 upstream.

dentry_open in ovl_security_fileattr fails for any file
larger than 2GB if open method of the underlying filesystem
calls generic_file_open (e.g. fusefs).

The issue can be reproduce using the following script:
(passthrough_ll is an example app from libfuse).

  $ D=/opt/test/mnt
  $ mkdir -p ${D}/{source,base,top/uppr,top/work,ovlfs}
  $ dd if=/dev/zero of=${D}/source/zero.bin bs=1G count=2
  $ passthrough_ll -o source=${D}/source ${D}/base
  $ mount -t overlay overlay \
      -olowerdir=${D}/base,upperdir=${D}/top/uppr,workdir=${D}/top/work \
      ${D}/ovlfs
  $ chmod 0777 ${D}/mnt/ovlfs/zero.bin

Running this script results in "Value too large for defined data type"
error message from chmod.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
