Partially revert "locks: fix file locking on overlayfs"
This partially reverts commit c568d683. Overlayfs files will now automatically get the correct locks, no need to hack overlay support in VFS. It is a partial revert, because it leaves the locks_inode() calls in place and defines locks_inode() to file_inode(). We could revert those as well, but it would be unnecessary code churn and it makes sense to document that we are getting the inode for locking purposes. Don't revert MS_NOREMOTELOCK yet since that has been part of the userspace API for some time (though not in a useful way). Will try to remove internal flags later when the dust around the new mount API settles. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>
