Subject: [PATCH 06/39] vfs: add f_op->pre_mmap()
Date:   Tue, 29 May 2018 16:43:06 +0200
Message-Id: <20180529144339.16538-7-mszeredi@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180529144339.16538-1-mszeredi@redhat.com>
References: <20180529144339.16538-1-mszeredi@redhat.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

This is needed by overlayfs to be able to copy up a file from a read-only
lower layer to a writable layer when being mapped shared.  When copying up,
overlayfs takes VFS locks that would violate locking order when nested
inside mmap_sem.

Add a new f_op->pre_mmap method, which is called before taking mmap_sem.
