> [Al Viro] The bug is in being too enthusiastic about optimizing ->setattr()
> away - instead of "copy verbatim with metadata" + "chmod/chown/utimes"
> (with the former being always safe and the latter failing in case of
> insufficient permissions) it tries to combine these two.  Note that copyup
> itself will have to do ->setattr() anyway; _that_ is where the elevated
> capabilities are right.  Having these two ->setattr() (one to set verbatim
> copy of metadata, another to do what overlayfs ->setattr() had been asked
> to do in the first place) combined is where it breaks.
