ovl: fix nested overlayfs mount
When the upper overlayfs checks "trusted.overlay.*" xattr on the underlying overlayfs mount, it gets -EPERM, which confuses the upper overlayfs. Fix this by returning -EOPNOTSUPP instead of -EPERM from ovl_own_xattr_get() and ovl_own_xattr_set(). This behavior is consistent with the behavior of ovl_listxattr(), which filters out the private overlayfs xattrs. Note: nested overlays are deprecated. But this change makes sense regardless: these xattrs are private to the overlay and should always be hidden. Hence getting and setting them should indicate this. [SzMi: Use EOPNOTSUPP instead of ENODATA and use it for both getting and setting "trusted.overlay." xattrs. This is a perfectly valid error code for "we don't support this prefix", which is the case here.] Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
