[PATCH v4 7/9] ovl: Add S_CASEFOLD as part of the inode flag to be copied
Posted by André Almeida 1 month, 3 weeks ago 
To keep ovl's inodes consistent with their real inodes, create a new
mask for inode file attributes that needs to be copied.  Add the
S_CASEFOLD flag as part of the flags that need to be copied along with
the other file attributes.

Signed-off-by: André Almeida <andrealmeid@igalia.com>

Changes from v3:
- Create new flag OVL_FATTR_I_FLAGS_MASK for the file attributes and add
  S_CASEFOLD in the OVL_COPY_I_FLAGS_MASK.
- Add WARN()s to check for inode consistency
- Add check for copied up directories

Changes from v2:
- Instead of manually setting the flag if the realpath dentry is
  casefolded, just add this flag as part of the flags that need to be
  copied.
