[GIT PULL] overlayfs fixes for 4.6-rc7

[Miklos Szeredi]

Hi Al,

Please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git overlayfs-next

This fixes two issues with overlayfs.

Thanks,
Miklos

	NAK on lookup_hash().  If nothing else, you need either
lookup_one_len_unlocked() or its "we already know hash" variant (assuming it's
worth bothering with).  That locking the parent is potentially a lot costlier
than recalculating the (default) hash function.  Especially in -next, where
lookup_one_len_unlocked() will take the lock shared if it has to take it at
all, but the mainline one also has a good chance to avoid taking the lock.

Can't use lookup_one_len_unlocked() because point of the fix is to lose the
permission check.

So how about this?

| struct dentry *lookup_hash(const struct qstr *name, struct dentry *base)
| {
| 	struct dentry *ret;
| 
| 	ret = lookup_dcache(name, base, 0);
| 	if (!ret)
| 		ret = lookup_slow(name, base, 0);
| 
| 	return ret;
| }

Hi Al,

Hopefully this addresses your concerns.  I couldn't find a better name for
lookup_hash(), after all it's just that.

Please pull:

B0rken - for one thing, you've lost file->f_path = *path in vfs_open(), for
another this thing belongs in dcache.h as static inline.  Fixed, pushed
as vfs.git#ovl-fixes, merged into #for-linus.

If you have any objections against the current state of that branch, please
yell.

No objections.  Thanks for the fix.
