Isn't that going to break:

        flags |= OVL_OPEN_FLAGS;

        /* If some flag changed that cannot be changed then something's amiss */
        if (WARN_ON((file->f_flags ^ flags) & ~OVL_SETFL_MASK))

IOW setting a flag that is allowed to change will fail because of
missing O_ATIME in file->f_flags.

I guess we need test coverage for SETFL.

Thanks,
Amir.
