In many of the vfs helpers, file permission hook is called before taking sb_start_write(), making them "start-write-safe". do_clone_file_range() is an exception to this rule. do_clone_file_range() has two callers - vfs_clone_file_range() and overlayfs. Move remap_verify_area() checks from do_clone_file_range() out to vfs_clone_file_range() to make them "start-write-safe". Overlayfs already has calls to rw_verify_area() with the same security permission hooks as remap_verify_area() has. The rest of the checks in remap_verify_area() are irrelevant for overlayfs that calls do_clone_file_range() offset 0 and positive length. This is needed for fanotify "pre content" events.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
