Stefan Berger faf994811e evm: Use the metadata inode to calculate metadata hash
Changes to file attributes (mode bits, uid, gid) on the lower layer are
not taken into account when d_backing_inode() is used when a file is
accessed on the overlay layer and this file has not yet been copied up.
This is because d_backing_inode() does not return the real inode of the
lower layer but instead returns the backing inode which in this case
holds wrong file attributes. Further, when CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_METACOPY is
enabled and a copy-up is triggered due to file metadata changes, then
the metadata are held by the backing inode while the data are still held
by the real inode. Therefore, use d_inode(d_real(dentry, D_REAL_METADATA))
to get to the file's metadata inode and use it to calculate the metadata
hash with.

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 reStructuredText 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.
