Changes to file attributes (mode bits, uid, gid) on the lower layer are not taken into account when d_backing_inode() is used when a file is accessed on the overlay layer and this file has not yet been copied up. This is because d_backing_inode() does not return the real inode of the lower layer but instead returns the backing inode which in this case holds wrong file attributes. Further, when CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_METACOPY is enabled and a copy-up is triggered due to file metadata changes, then the metadata are held by the backing inode while the data are still held by the real inode. Therefore, use d_inode(d_real(dentry, D_REAL_METADATA)) to get to the file's metadata inode and use it to calculate the metadata hash with.

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 reStructuredText 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.
