Subject: [PATCH] overlay: Call ovl_drop_write() earlier in ovl_dentry_open()
Date: Mon, 01 Jun 2015 15:21:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150601142132.22330.34936.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <21902.1433166736@warthog.procyon.org.uk>

Call ovl_drop_write() earlier in ovl_dentry_open() before we call vfs_open()
as we've done the copy up for which we needed the freeze-write lock by that
point.
