From f473bf92169633719acc3b43617c1dd20107770a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 14:22:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "vfs: fix freeze protection in mnt_want_write_file() for overlayfs" This reverts commit 4f4374a9bd25b333971e6f2656b642d29e2efe7b which was commit a6795a585929d94ca3e931bc8518f8deb8bbe627 upstream. Turns out this causes problems and was to fix a patch only in the 4.19 and newer tree.
