It is possible that a directory tree is shared between multiple overlay instances as a lower layer. In this case when one instance executes a file residing on the lower layer, the other instance denies a truncate(2) call on this file. This only happens for truncate(2) and not for open(2) with the O_TRUNC flag. Fix this interference and inconsistency by removing the preliminary i_writecount check before copy-up. This means that unlike on normal filesystems truncate(argv[0]) will now succeed. If this ever causes a regression in a real world use case this needs to be revisited. One way to fix this properly would be to keep a correct i_writecount in the overlay inode, but that is difficult due to memory mapping code only dealing with the real file/inode.

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.
