From 46e5d0a3907ba489fda4f7b043439a3599184f91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2018 15:44:41 +0200 Subject: ovl: copy up file size as well Copy i_size of the underlying inode to the overlay inode in ovl_copyattr(). This is in preparation for stacking I/O operations on overlay files. This patch shouldn't have any observable effect. Remove stale comment from ovl_setattr() [spotted by Vivek Goyal].
