overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay
Make file->f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in /proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it). Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see: [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107 [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/ ... lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:38 5 -> /a/foo107 [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107 ... Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381 Links: 1 ... [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5 ... Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381 Links: 1 ... After the patch: [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107 [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/ ... lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:22 5 -> /mnt/a/foo107 [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107 ... Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346 Links: 1 ... [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5 ... Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346 Links: 1 ... Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command. It was pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107 (which is correct). The inode accessed, however, is the lower layer. The union layer is on device 25h/37d and the upper layer on 24h/36d.
